1) Tamia Washington-Hill (born May 9, 1975 in Windsor, Ontario) is a Canadian R&B singer. She is noted for her spinto mezzo-soprano, a rangy three octaves, capable of both dark contralto depths and angelic soprano highs. Tamia has released numerous albums since her discovery by Quincy Jones in 1995, at the age of 19. Her first three albums, 1998's Tamia, 2000's A Nu Day, and 2004's More, all achieved moderate success on R&B charts and urban radio, but failed to achieve mainstream success.

Tamia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How could I reminisce when there is not past?
How could I have memories of being happy with you, boy?
Can someone tell me how can this be?
How could my mind pull up incidents
Recall dates and times that never happened?
How could we celebrate love that's too late
I miss the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we used to kiss
At least in my dreams just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happen to us, we were almost there
Who ever said it's impossible to miss
What you never had, never almost had you
I cannot believe I let you go or what I should say is
I should have grabbed you up and never let you go
I should have went out with you, I should have made you my boo, boy
Yeah, that is one time I should have broke the rules
Should have went on the date, should have found a way to escape
Should have turned almost into if it happen, now it?s too late
How could I celebrate a love that wasn't real?
And if it didn't happen, why does my heart feel?
I miss the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we used to kiss
At least in my dreams just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happen to us, we were almost there
Who ever said it's impossible to miss
What you never had, never almost had you
You seem to be the perfect one for me
You, you're all I ever wanted
You're my everything, yes it?s true
Boy, it's hard to be close to you
My love, boy, it may sound crazy
But I'm in love with you
I miss the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we used to kiss
At least in my dreams just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happen to us, we were almost there
Who ever said it's impossible to miss
What you never had, never almost had you
I miss the times that we almost shared
I miss the love that was almost there
I miss the times that we used to kiss
At least in my dreams just let me take my time and reminisce
I miss the times that we never had
What happen to us, we were almost there
Who ever said it's impossible to miss
What you never had, never almost had you, baby
The lyrics in Tamia's song Almost depict the feeling of missing something that was so close yet unattainable.

The lyrics reveal the regret of not being able to hold onto a love that was almost there, with the singer blaming herself for letting go of someone who was perfect for her. She expresses the sadness of what could have been if she had made a different decision, emphasizing that despite never having the chance to experience the love in reality, it still feels real to her heart.

βAlmostβ is when you love someone so deeply that it hurts your core. And no matter how much they hurt you, you still stick around thinking that they will notice all the little things that you do. Not even notice they could at least try to act like your the only woman they ever wanted
