Ariana Grande: Almost Is Never Enough Meaning
Song Released: 2013
Almost Is Never Enough Lyrics
I'd like to blame it all on life
Maybe we just weren't right, but that's a lie, that's a lie
And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show
'Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder...

#1 top rated interpretation:In my opinion the meaning of this song is 2 people fall in love with each other although they aren’t in a relationship but in one with another person and doesn’t want to admit what they feel about him or her. But they don’t want to admit it to each other because their scared something will happen but they both that they will be in a relationship sooner or later

#2 top rated interpretation:This song perfectly describes my current situation where two people who fell in love with each other while the other is in a relationship and they are holding back their feelings..they tried to deny their true feelings to each other to make things right but the feelings just get stronger every time.. .and both of them are hoping that someday they will have the chance to be together...

#3 top rated interpretation:It's a love that two people are afraid to admit. A war that you are constantly fighting. Debating whether you should tell the other or not. Afraid of what the outcome might be. But sooner or later you will never get your chance for expressing your feelings and regretting that you never did.
-
This song has a definition of a possible love and relationship where one of you found the other and you both realised what you found which was each other but complications lies in the way of you being actually together and getting the chance to express feelings you developed for one another maybe that’s distance, job or maybe just life in general. But that then results in one of you ending it due to the lack of attention and then later on regret is formed where you wished you took the chance with that someone you found and maybe never find again.
-
It's about loving someone to a point of "almost" no return..but then neither life nor circumstance guarantees anything so things could go wrong along the way..hence feelings or decision is never enough..
-
They say that once a song is released to the public, the creator's interpretation of the art will not be its overall meaning. In my case, I think it means two people who dated each other for some time and due to certain circumstances (career, opportunity, time), they decided to part ways without realizing that they will regret it forever.
-
I think that is song is about being almost in love or they were both in love put they never got the chance to tell her hoe he feels and same with her so they were never together.
-
Denying feelings for each other, give it a try, if you both work on it and fit a real relationship, you'll both be happy. If it didn't work, at least you did it a try.
-
They have the chance but they taken each other for granted They love each other but they are to afraid to admit it. and even now they regret it.Remember if you love someone don't let it slip away, take the risk there is nothing wrong with it
-
the song is about a boy and girl who both like eachother but are too afraid to admit it. And later on she regrets is wishing she tokk the chance and started a rrelationship with him
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
For me this song is about an almost relationship.
I'd like to say we gave it a try
I'd like to blame it all on life
Maybe we just weren't right, but that's a lie, that's a lie
(you tried to be with that person but you never became an official couple)
And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show
(and since a real relationship did not happen you try to deny that you had feelings for that person before because of your ego but if you see him/her again the same actions will show that you both had feelings for each other)
'Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows
(You always end up wondering why you gave up on each other when you were almost there to having a real relationship.)
Almost, almost is never enough
(Almost relationships will never be enough because there will never be closure. It will never be enough because you can never get enough answers. There will always be what ifs and will always make you wonder why.)
So close to being in love
(so close to having a real relationship)
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you
(You both have great feelings for each other but there was never a real relationship)
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms
(years later and you will see each other as strangers, you will still wonder the same question, but since you are already happy with someone else you'll wonder how would it have been if you became a real couple spending time with each other)
And we almost, we almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough
(Almost knew what it was like to be each other's gf/bf but it did not happen so you are only left with all of your imagination of being with him/her)
If I could change the world overnight
There'd be no such thing as goodbye
(Since it was an almost relationship there will be many regrets on how could you have done things differently to make it a real relationship)
You'd be standing right where you were
And we'd get the chance we deserve
(If you could have done things differently in the past, you know you will make it right and have that chance to be with that person) -
this song is about the relationship of two people. It emphasises how their relation ship came to an end. They they almost knew what love was, but almost loving is never enough.
-
My interpretation of this song is that two people loved each other deeply but they were afraid of telling each other so a relationship that could have been didn't exist because no one said anything.'Almost' is like saying 'if one of us would have said something we could've been in a happy relationship right now'.In some parts of the songs she second guesses that it's their fault like when she says 'maybe we just weren't right,we're lots alike' or 'I'd like to blame it all on life'.
-
I think it's about two people who who liked each other but not at the same time.
-
This song makes me think of Brooke and Lucas from one tree hill.
I'd like to say we gave it a try
I'd like to blame it all on life
Maybe we just weren't right, but that's a lie, that's a lie
And we can deny it as much as we want
But in time our feelings will show
(Brooke would like to say that she and Lucas tried to make it work and failed. She'd like to blame it on the fact that him and Peyton were meant be and that they eventually would have found there way to each other. That her and Lucas weren't right for each other but that's a lie. And even though she pretended that there feelings just faded away you could tell in season 5 that she still had feelings for him but she still believed that he was meant for Peyton.)
'Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows
(And when ever she wonders why she gave up someone would bring up how he and Peyton were meant to be. An epic love. And she'll remember that she was just a 'denial of the following truth.' Lucas was now, and would always be, in love with Peyton Sawyer.)
Almost, almost is never enough
So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me
The way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms
And we almost, we almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough
(She and Lucas were close to having something real. But Lucas wouldn't let her all the way in and she was scared to trust him with all of her. And if she had known that Lucas honestly loved her the way she still loved him then maybe they would have ended up together but Lucas gave up on her and she wasn't going to fight for him. )
If I could change the world overnight
There'd be no such thing as goodbye
You'd be standing right where you were
And we'd get the chance we deserve
(If Lucas could have found the words to say to Brooke to stop her from leaving then they could have worked it out. If Peyton hadn't told Brooke she had feelings for Lucas then they would have gotten the chance they deserved)
Try to deny it as much as you want
But in time our feelings will show
(Lucas's feelings for Brooke started to show towards the end of season 5. They both admitted they loved each other but they both wrote the others feelings off as friendship. )
'Cause sooner or later
We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows
(And he wondered why he gave up on Brooke but in his dream life with Brooke at the beginning of season 5, he admitted that he did love her but it was to hard to make it work. )
Almost, almost is never enough
We were so close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me, the way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms
And we almost, we almost knew what love was
But almost is never enough
(If Lucas had known that Brooke still had feelings for him then he wouldn't have given up. He would have continued to fight for her and convinced her that what they had was real but he didn't know so he moved on.) -
I feel as if it's about two people who were in a relationship but they didn't put in their entire effort to make it work. It's feels as if they were both protecting themselves from having their feelings hurt. which is why they now are making excuses for why they didn't work out. The line "if I would have known that you wanted me the way I wanted you" is confirmation that they were both holding back. I guess overall the message is that one must full heartedly and sincerely enter a relationship so that you don't have to be haunted by the thoughts concerning what almost could have happened.

For my opinion this song is really intriguing because of its great meaning. It is about hidden feelings to each other that will never be admitted from them.Until their lives separated and it is too late to confess everything.Those people experiencing this situation, be strong to handle it and don't be afraid to confess your feelings so you won't regret something that might have been happened to your life.If you can't do anything, just wait for the right time when both of you are ready to be destined
