Al-most blue-- al-most do-ing things we- use to do-

There’s a girl here and she’s- al--most you-- al-most-

All- the- things that your eyes once pro-mised-

I see in hers too- now your eyes are red--from cry-ing,

Al-most blue-- flirt-ing with this dis-as-ter be-came me--

It named me as the fool who on-ly aimed to be
