I got a wake up call, I got to make this work 
Cause if we don't we're left with nothing and that's what hurts 
We're so close to giving up but something keeps us here 

I can't see what's yet [bad word] 
But I have imagined life without you and it feels wrong 
I want to know where love begins, not where it ends 

Cause we don't know what we're doing 
We're just built this way 
We're careless but we're trying 
Cause we both make mistakes 
And I don't want to keep [bad word] 
If we're only gonna fall behind 
We've almost got it right 
But almost wasn't what I had in mind 

We want it all and deserve no less 
But all we seem to give each other is second best 
We're still reaching out for something that we can't touch 

Cause we don't know what we're doing 
We're just built this way 
We're careless but we're trying 
Cause we both make mistakes 
And I don't want to keep [bad word] 
If we're only gonna fall behind 
We've almost got it right 
But almost wasn't what I had in mind 

You know there's nothing like this love 
So we don't want to let it go 

Cause we don't know what we're doing 
We're just built this way 
We're careless but we're trying 
Cause we both make mistakes 
And I don't want to keep [bad word] 
If we're only gonna fall behind 
We've almost it got right 
But almost wasn't what I had in mind
