I thought that dreams belonged to other men 'Cause each time I got close They'd fall apart again I feared my heart would beat in secrecy I faced the nights alone Oh, how could I have known That all my life I only needed you? Oh, almost paradise We're knockin' on heaven's door Almost paradise How could we ask for more? I swear that I can see forever in your eyes Paradise It seems like perfect love's so hard to find I'd almost given up You must have read my mind And all these dreams I saved for a rainy day They're finally coming true I'll share them all with you 'Cause now we hold the future in our hands Oh, almost paradise We're knockin' on heaven's door Almost paradise How could we ask for more? I swear that I can see forever in your eyes Paradise And in your arms, salvation's not so far away It's getting closer, closer every day Almost paradise We're knockin' on heaven's door Almost paradise How could we ask for more? I swear that I can see forever in your eyes Paradise Paradise Paradise

Some days I'll admit, I was difficult Everything that you did, I was critical You're 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 Baby, we were good, it was almost worth it 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, 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

Why should I play this game of pretend? Remembering through a secondhand sorrow? Such a great son and wonderful friend Oh, don't the tears just pour I could curl up and hide in my room There in my bed, still sobbing tomorrow I could give in to all of the gloom But tell me, tell me what for Why should I have a heavy heart? Why should I start to break in pieces? Why should I go and fall apart for you? Why should I play the grieving girl and lie Saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark without your light? I will sing no requiem tonight I gave you the world, you threw it away Leaving these broken pieces behind you Everything wasted, nothing to say So I can sing no requiem I hear your voice, I feel you near Within these words, I finally find you And now that I know that you are still here I will sing no requiem tonight Why should I have a heavy heart? Why should I say I'll keep you with me? Why should I go and fall apart for you? Why should I play the grieving girl and lie Saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark without your light? (I can see your light) I will sing no requiem tonight 'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep No one lights a candle to remember No, no one mourns at all When they lay them down to sleep So, don't tell me that I didn't have it right Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white After all you put me through Don't say it wasn't true That you were not the monster that I knew 'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and lie Saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark I will sing no requiem I will sing no requiem I will sing no requiem tonight Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh
