Almost Left Again

[Verse]
I stood by the door tonight
Keys already in my hand
No fight, no last words
Just the weight of staying
The room looked the same
Nothing wrong, nothing broken
That’s what makes it hard
To walk away from it

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep waiting for a reason
Something loud enough to go
But quiet keeps you standing
When you already know

[Chorus]
I almost left again
I felt it this time
That moment where staying
Didn’t feel right
I almost left again
But I stayed where I’ve been
Nothing pulled me back
I just didn’t move

[Verse]
I told myself tomorrow
Would be clearer somehow
That leaving in silence
Would hurt more right now
So I set the keys down
Walked back inside
Another night added
To the life I don’t question

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a space between knowing
And actually going
I live there more
Than I want to admit

[Final Chorus]
I almost left again
Closer than before
One of these nights
I won’t stop at the door
I almost left again
And that’s the truth
It’s getting harder
To stay here with you

[Outro]
The quiet isn’t holding me
It’s just buying time
