Almost
Dnce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything that you did, I was critical
Your holding the car keys, I'm saying, "Don't tease me"
If you're leaving, just leave me
Baby, we were good, we were almost perfect
I'd say it's your fault but you don't deserve it
You won't get back what we had with no one
We were almost
Almost, almost
So real, sometimes it was fictional, yeah
So good, sometimes it was criminal
So happy without me, or are you just acting?
Either way is right
Baby, we were good, we were almost perfect
I'd say it's your fault but you don't deserve it
You won't get back what we had with no one
Baby, we were good, it was almost worth it
We were almost
Almost
Almost
Almost
Baby, we were good, we were almost perfect
I'd say it's your fault but you don't deserve it
You won't get back what we had with no one
Baby, we were good, it was almost worth it
We were almost
Almost (almost)
Almost (almost)
Almost
Almost
The lyrics of "Almost" by Dnce speaks about a relationship that was once good and almost perfect, but eventually fell apart. The song begins with the admission of the singer's own fault in making things difficult and being critical of their partner. Despite this, the singer is still emotional and doesn't want to be teased, which means that if their partner wants to leave, then they should just leave finally.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Baby, we were good, we were almost perfect," which acknowledges that the relationship had potential, but it was not able to fully reach it. The second verse highlights the fact that the relationship was not always real or good, and sometimes it even did harm. The singer then questions whether their partner is truly happy without them or if they are pretending. Nonetheless, they acknowledge that either way, it is right to move on.
In conclusion, the song presents the bittersweet tale of a relationship that almost worked, but ultimately fell apart. It highlights the importance of acknowledging personal shortcomings and understanding that moving on is the best decision for both parties involved.
