Almost Is Never Enough
Nathan Sykes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd like to say we gave it a try
I'd like to blame it all on life
Maybe we just weren't right
But that's a lie
That's a lie

And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time, our feelings will show

'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is, everyone knows

Almost
Almost is never enough
So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms

And we almost
We almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough

If I could change the world overnight
There'd be no such thing as goodbye
You'd be standing right where you were
And we'd get the chance we deserve

Try to deny it as much as you want
But in time, our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up
The truth, is everyone knows

Almost

Almost is never enough
So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you, oh
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms

And we almost
We almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough

(Huh) oh, huh oh
(Oh, baby) hmm
(You know) oh

(Almost)

Baby, baby, baby (is not enough, baby)

(You know) huh-huh

And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time, our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is, everyone knows

Almost
Almost is never enough (is never enough, babe)
(We were) so close to being in love (so close)
If I would have known that you wanted me (that you wanted me)
The way I wanted you, babe
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms

And we we almost
We almost knew what love was (baby)
But almost is never enough

(Huh)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nathan Sykes's song “Almost Is Never Enough” featuring Ariana Grande describe a failed relationship, where both the singer and the person they were in love with were so close to being in love, but failed to get there in the end. The singer would like to say that they tried, but the truth is that they were not right for each other. They both try to deny their feelings, but in time it becomes clear that their love is not enough, and they are left wondering why they gave up. The chorus repeats the phrase “almost is never enough,” implying that although they were close to love, it is just not enough to make it work.

The song is a beautiful, emotional ballad that captures the feelings of almost being in love and not being able to take the final step. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced an almost relationship that never quite managed to become a real one. Nathan Sykes and Ariana Grande's voices blend well and create a powerful duet that conveys the emotions of the song.

Line by Line Meaning

I'd like to say we gave it a try
I want to believe that we put in effort

I'd like to blame it all on life
I want to attribute the failure to unlucky circumstances

Maybe we just weren't right,
It's possible that we were incompatible

But that's a lie,
However, that explanation is dishonest

And we can deny it as much as we want
We can try to pretend otherwise

But in time our feelings will show
Eventually, our true emotions will surface

'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up
At some point, we will regret ending things

The truth is everyone knows
Deep down, we all understand what really happened

Almost
We came close

Almost is never enough
But almost is not sufficient

So close to being in love
We almost fell in love

If I would have known that you wanted me
If only I had realized your feelings toward me

The way I wanted you
Because I wanted you just as much

Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
Perhaps we would still be together

But right here in each others arms
Sharing an embrace

And we almost
We were so close

We almost knew what love was
We almost experienced the true meaning of 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
We would never have to part ways

You'll be standing right where you were
You would still be with me

And we'd get the chance we deserve
We would have another opportunity to make things work

Baby baby baby (is not enough baby)
Using pet names won't fix anything

But in time our feelings will show
Our true emotions will eventually be revealed

Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
We wouldn't have to be separated

We almost knew what love was (baby)
Our near miss at love

But almost is never enough
However, we need more than an almost to make it work

it hurts when you have an “almost” relationship with someone. you can’t be together because of such circumstances and the worst part of it is just to bury your own feelings and regret comes as time passes by. we were really close to being inlove. maybe you were the right person at the wrong time...

32 year old man here. Grew up on RnB and for this generation this is easily top tier and arguably in her top 3 best songs. From the crazy relatable lyrics to the duet complimenting each other very well. It’s a masterpiece of a song in its simple yet complex vibe. Which fits the overall feel of the song and what it means to be in love with someone who you never took that chance with only to let such song fade without ever know the beauty of what could’ve been.

But as I distance myself from him he distanced himself from me aswell. Now, we're on college. We met and he asked me why I distanced nyself him. I told him that I fell for him and that I was scared he would leave if he knew. But he told me he loved me too. He loves me but I didn't know. I loved him but he didn't know. Now we knew how we feel for each other but the problem is that those feelings we had back then can't continue because he already has a gf.

“If I would have known that you wanted me, the way I wanted you. Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart”

After a week of our class, there's this guy who caught my attention and started to admire him silently. Every little things he do is just admirable. We barely had an interactions because he's a quite type of a guy, so am I. He's also a academic achiever and good in leadership.

At first, it was just a happy crush but days, weeks, and months had passed, until it's already our graduation day and for sure it'll be the last time I'll see him. During our graduation, he came to me and greeted me and also asked me for a picture together. The next thing he said was unbelievable. He confessed to me that he's been silently admiring me since our second week of school, that everytime he wanted to approach me, he's intimidated of my rbf look lmao.

I was shocked because all this time, we both like each other but we both just kept it. Indeed, almost is never enough.

Why is this so underrated

@MIKECNW

How is it. underrated? It was probably a big hit.

@joaomartins9672

Compare it to "The Way" or "Baby I" released by Ariana the same year

Wow, I miss this Ariana era. Truly one of the most underrated duets including Over and Over Again, They compliment each other with Nathan. It's in the ballad where her voice truly shines. Enough of trap Rnb!

i hope ariana could see this. she is great in any other genres but she stood out in pop and ballad. i hope with AG& she will change her path and go back to this era

@@adrianquitalig621 This was more of a 70's sounding soul ballad and I'm sure even then she was doing the other type of music you're speaking of.

Agree, I wish she would sing more in her songs than talk/rap like she used to, she's too talented for that.
