Girl I Almost Knew lyrics

I'll only miss your tears in my eyes
A tear that's been a prisoner way to long
The fool that's made excuses for your lies
Now confessin' the love he's never known.

You're the girl who almost gave heart to me
You're the girl who almost made my dreams come true
Forever in my mind there'll be a memory
Of a stranger, the girl I almost knew.

Each day I told myself you'll change tomorrow
For a fool in love will hide what's right or wrong
Behind my back you planted seeds with sorry
And they grew till the hurt became full grown.

You're the girl who almost gave heart to me
You're the girl who almost made my dreams come true
Forever in my mind there'll be a memory
Of a stranger the girl I almost knew...
