There once was a lingering Almost That followed you like a ghost. She's haunted your past Leaves you downcast and both lifeless and comatose She decided to stay for a while So long that she had a child His name is Regret who will make you forget Exactly how to reconcile But one day you decide you've had enough And demand that they pack up their stuff They were so close to leaving And almost believing Until they called your bluff.

Horseshoes and Hand grenades
There once was a lingering Almost That followed you like a ghost. She's haunted your past Leaves you downcast and both lifeless and comatose She decided to stay for a while So long that she had a child His name is Regret who will make you forget Exactly how to reconcile But one day you decide you've had enough And demand that they pack up their stuff They were so close to leaving And almost believing Until they called your bluff.
