Almost Doesn't Count (Bonus Track)

(专辑： Battle Scars - 2013)

I've been tippin on a tightrope every day,
falling left and right in every way,
to get back on and on and on and on again,
a battle you don't know.

In the middle of a cross roads as I speak,
an uphill climb on a one way street,
I wasn't instrume saying I'm surrendering.

but almost doesn't count,
we gotta close call with another downfall,
then I kinda figured out (Almost doesn't count.)
I fell into a free fall,
breakin through a brick wall,
lucky I was looking down (Almost doesn't count.)
Might of had a slip up,
hung up on my hang ups,
I will never break again (Almost doesn't count.)
Gotta get a move on,
better in the long run,
this is now and that was then.

Now I got my vices all in check,
screwing up is always one miscep,
so I will try and try and try to carry on,
a struggle you don't know.

Look me in the eye and say I'm wrong,
no ones ever really too far gone,
we'll make it out through all the doubt and come around;
I swear it.

But almost doesn't count;
We gotta close call with another downfall,
then I kinda figured out (Almost doesn't count.)
I fell into a free fall,
breakin through a brick wall,
lucky I was looking down (Almost doesn't count.)
Might of had a slip up,
hung up on my hang ups,
I will never break again (Almost doesn't count.)
Gotta get a move on,
better in the long run,
this is now and that was then.

Times are changing thats a fact.
I swear I'm never looking back,
I'm always looking up to better days.
I'm ready for the aftermath,
and living after losing track,
cause learnings part of living anyway.

We gotta close call with another downfall,
then I kinda figured out (Almost doesn't count.)
I fell into a free fall,
breakin through a brick wall,
lucky I was looking down (Almost doesn't count.)
Might of had a slip up,
hung up on my hang ups,
I will never break again (Almost doesn't count.)
Gotta get a move on,
better in the long run,
this is now and that was then.

Even the darkest nights have dawn, even the darkest clouds hide sun,
Even when their stage is crumbling, even the darkest shows go on,
You say that music saved you? no you saved you, you're the one who picked it up when everything was falling through,
Say you almost lost it, or you almost gave up,
Don't forget that you're more than almost strong enough,
you've got a battle scar for your sleeve, that's where we wear it,
I could be the soundtrack to the moment that you doubt and then we'll make it through the way we do when every in is out, I swear it,
You're the one who told yourself that everything'd be better if you never let yourself forget how much your life is meant for,
And if this was gonna be your ticket out, it wasn't, cause we made it through it and that's all that counts, almost doesn't.

Almost doesn't count.
Almost doesn't count.
Almost doesn't count.
Almost doesn't count.
