I'd like to say we gave it a try

Me gustaría decir que lo intentamos.

I'd like to blame it all on life

Me gustaría echarle la culpa a la vida

Maybe we just weren't right,

Tal vez simplemente no estábamos en lo cierto

But that's a lie,

Pero eso es mentira,

That's a lie

eso es mentira

And we can deny it as much as we want

Y podemos negarlo tanto como queramos.

But in time our feelings will show

Pero con el tiempo nuestros sentimientos se mostrarán

'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up

Porque tarde o temprano nos preguntaremos por qué nos rendimos

The truth is everyone knows

La verdad es que todo el mundo lo sabe.

Almost

Casi

Almost is never enough

Casi nunca es suficiente

So close to being in love

Tan cerca de estar enamorado

If I would have known that you wanted me

Si hubiera sabido que me querías

The way I wanted you

La forma en que te quería

Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart

Entonces tal vez no estaríamos a dos mundos de distancia

But right here in each others arms

Pero aquí, en los brazos del otro

And we almost

Y casi

We almost knew what love was

Casi sabíamos lo que era el amor

But almost is never enough

Pero casi nunca es suficiente

If I could change the world overnight

Si pudiera cambiar el mundo de la noche a la mañana

There'd be no such thing as goodbye

No existiría tal cosa como un adiós

You'll be standing right where you were

Estarás parado justo donde estabas

And we'd get the chance we deserve

Y tendríamos la oportunidad que merecemos

Try to deny it as much as you want

Intenta negarlo tanto como quieras.

But in time our feelings will show

Pero con el tiempo nuestros sentimientos se mostrarán

'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up

Porque tarde o temprano nos preguntaremos por qué nos rendimos

The truth is everyone knows

La verdad es que todo el mundo lo sabe.

Casi

Almost is never enough

Casi nunca es suficiente

So close to being in love

Tan cerca de estar enamorado

If I would have known that you wanted me

Si hubiera sabido que me querías

The way I wanted you, oh

La forma en que te quería, oh

Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart

Entonces tal vez no estaríamos a dos mundos de distancia

But right here in each others arms

Pero aquí, en los brazos del otro

And we almost

Y casi

We almost knew what love was

Casi sabíamos lo que era el amor

But almost is never enough

Pero casi nunca es suficiente

(Huh) oh, huh oh

Bebé bebé bebé (no es suficiente bebé)

(You know) huh huh

(Ya sabes) eh eh

(Huh yeah)

(Eh, sí)

And we can deny it as much as we want

Y podemos negarlo tanto como queramos.

But in time our feelings will show

Pero con el tiempo nuestros sentimientos se mostrarán

'Cause sooner or later, we'll wonder why we gave up

Porque tarde o temprano nos preguntaremos por qué nos rendimos

The truth is everyone knows

La verdad es que todo el mundo lo sabe.
