I almost won the lottery
I almost hit it rich
Just needed one more ball to fall
One more ball, I’d win it all
But almost wasn’t good enough
That number didn’t drop
I could have gotten furious
Stomped my feet, shook my fist, but

I don’t like to be angry
I don’t like to be mad
And I don’t want to waste my energy
On something I almost, something I almost had

I almost had the perfect girl
We almost fell in love
She almost said she’d marry me
To marry me would be so sweet
But almost didn’t get it done
At the end her feet got cold
I could have done my fetal thing
Hibernated ‘til the spring, but

I don’t like to be lonely
I don’t like to be sad
And I don’t want to waste my energy
On something I almost, something I almost had

Bridge:
Almost is a funny word, it usually means you lost
It only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes that you toss
I’d rather count my blessings of everything I have
I’d rather let my “almost” go instead of feeling bad, cause

I don’t like to be angry
I don’t like to be mad
And I don’t want to waste my energy
On something I almost had
I don’t like to be lonely
I don’t like to be sad
And I don’t want to waste my energy
On something I almost, something I almost had
