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 lookin' 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 lookin' 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 lookin' 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
