Almost Called

(Verse 1)

Found your name buried in my contacts,

Thumb froze halfway down.

It’s funny how forever disappears…

But your number sticks around.

I stared until the screen went dark,

Watched my own reflection fade.

Crazy how a million memories…

Can fit inside one name.

(Pre-Chorus)

Everybody says don’t look back.

Nobody tells you

How hard not looking is.

(Chorus)

I almost called.

Didn’t.

Almost drove

Right past your street.

Almost told you

Everything.

Almost let my heart win.

Again.

I almost called…

Guess “almost”

Is all I’ve ever been.

(Verse 2)

Your favorite gas station still sells

That cheap coffee you’d always buy.

I catch myself pulling in there…

Even when I don’t need to stop.

People think healing’s one big step.

Truth is…

It’s a thousand tiny decisions

Nobody sees.

(Bridge)

The worst part?

You probably never knew

How many times

I chose not to ruin your peace.

(Final Chorus)

I almost called.

Didn’t.

Almost heard

Your voice again.

Almost became

The version of me

I promised I’d never be.

I almost called.

And somehow…

That hurt more

Than if you never answered.
