Almost
Jaded Era Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Almost you fell in love with me almost you were my bride to be
But each promise that was made you have broken and betrayed
And left me with a faded memory
Almost my precious dreams came true almost you whispered dear I do
But someone new came by and you left me here to cry
Oh how close we were almost
[ strings ]
Almost your heart I did possess almost you brought me happiness

But my dreams just won't come true and there's nothing I can do

Oh how close we were almost

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Almost by Jaded Era depict a love story that was almost perfect, but in the end, it crumbled. The singer reminisces about how close they were to being in love and getting married. However, their partner kept betraying their trust, breaking their promises and eventually leaving them with shattered dreams and faded memories. The song is filled with sadness and regret, as the singer thinks about what could have been, had the relationship worked out. The use of the word 'almost' emphasizes the closeness the singer had with their partner, but also draws attention to the fact that it was never quite enough to make things work.

The feelings expressed in this song are relatable to anyone who has been in a relationship that seemed perfect at first, but ended up falling apart. The idea of being so close to happiness, yet so far, is a theme that has resonated with people for generations. The simplicity of the lyrics, combined with the beautiful string arrangement, creates a haunting melody that sticks with the listener long after the song is over.

Line by Line Meaning

Almost you fell in love with me almost you were my bride to be
You almost loved me and were going to marry me

But each promise that was made you have broken and betrayed
You didn't keep your promises and betrayed me

And left me with a faded memory
You left me with a distant and blurry memory

Almost my precious dreams came true almost you whispered dear I do
My dreams were almost fulfilled and you almost said 'I do'

But someone new came by and you left me here to cry
You found someone else and left me to weep

Oh how close we were almost
We were so close to making it work, but we didn't

instrumental

Almost your heart I did possess almost you brought me happiness
I almost had your heart and you made me happy

But my dreams just won't come true and there's nothing I can do
My dreams won't come true and there's nothing I can do about it

Oh how close we were almost
We were so close to making it work, but we didn't
