Near Tears – Shonagh Daly

Last night I saw you with somebody new
So happy and so much in love
And so I smiled and said ‘hello’
And all the time you didn’t know
I was dyin’
And I was, near tears

Almost fallin apart
Near breakin’ down
And running back into your arms,
Near tears
Almost barely hanging on
You didn’t know
That I was so
Near tears

I felt my world come crashing down on me
As memories swept across my heart
And though I never showed a sign
My heart was breaking deep inside
And I was dyin’
I was

Near tears
Almost fallin’ apart
Near breaking down
And running back into your arms
Near tears
Almost barely hanging on
You didn’t know
That I was so
Near tears

I wanted to cry out loud
And scream ‘I Love You’
Never let you go
But I just walked away
And I heard you say ‘goodbye its good to see you’
‘Let’s meet again’
I said ‘I’d love to’
You were so in love
And I was

Near tears
Almost falling apart
Near breaking down
And running back into your arms
Near tears
Almost barely hanging on
You didn’t know
That I was so
Near tears

You didn’t know
That I was so
Near tears

You didn’t know
That I was so
Near tears
