Almost Is Never Enough
Ariana Grande & Nathan Sykes Lyrics

I'd like to say we gave it a try
I wish I could say that we tried our best

I'd like to blame it all on life
I want to attribute our failure to fate

Maybe we just weren't right, But that's a lie, That's a lie
Perhaps we weren't meant to be, but I know that's not true

And we can deny it as much as we want
We can pretend that our love wasn't real

But in time our feelings will show
Eventually, our emotions will reveal the truth

'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up
Eventually, we'll regret letting go of each other

The truth is everyone knows
The reality is clear to all who saw us together

Almost, Almost is never enough
Being close to love is not the same as experiencing it fully

So close to being in love
We were almost at the brink of true love

If I would have known that you wanted me, The way I wanted you
Had I realized that you felt the same way I did

Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart, But right here in each others arms
We would be united and in love, not separated

And we almost, We almost knew what love was
Our connection was so intense, we thought it was love

If I could change the world overnight
If only I had the power to make everything right

There'd be no such thing as goodbye
No one would ever have to say goodbye to loved ones

You'll be standing right where you were, And we'd get the chance we deserve
You and I would be reunited, and we'd have the opportunity to make it work

Baby baby baby (is not enough baby)
Being affectionate is not enough to make love successful

And we can deny it as much as we want
We can pretend that our feelings never existed, but it won't change the truth

But in time our feelings will show
Sooner or later our true emotions will come to light

Almost, Almost is never enough (is never in enough babe)
Almost reaching love is never enough to make it succeed

If I would have known that you wanted me (that you wanted me), The way I wanted you, babe
If I realized that our feelings were mutual

Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart, But right here in each others arms
We wouldn't be separated, but wrapped in each other's embrace

And we we almost, We almost knew what love was (baby)
We were so close to grasping real love

But almost is never enough (is never enough at all), (Hey ey ey)
Being close to love is not the same as having it all
