[Verse 1]
And now school is no longer out
We’ve gotta head back to my hometown
I did get their numbers on the way out
The internet has ruined my life
I get attached when I make new friends, and I cry
Hating my own desperate attempts at a social life

[Chorus]
I was almost perfect
But my best was not enough
I was almost perfect

[Verse 2]
What could I do, to seem cool to you
Like I did before, when we were together as one crew
I have a number of different reasons, why I act a fool
Banging my head on the wall ’til you make your move

[Chorus]
I was almost perfect
But it never was enough
I was almost perfect

[Verse 3]
Imagine living a couple decades
Still acting like a child
When one feels abandoned, their emotions do run wild
I have to wake up tomorrow morning, knowing I could’ve did just right
The same mental baggage as I felt last night
[Chorus]
I was almost perfect
And it never was enough
I know no one’s perfect
But I could’ve had a shot
I was almost perfect, I was almost perfect
But it never was enough
It never was enough
I was almost perfect
Oh, almost perfect
