I Almost texted you you (electro version)

(Verse 1)

Screen glowin' in the dark at 2:00 AM

Thumb hovering over the "send" again

I had it all typed out, every honest word

The kind of truths that deserve to be heard

Bakit ba ang hirap bitawan ng lahat?

(Why is it so hard to let it all go?)

Inuulit-ulit ang bawat sulat

(Repeating every letter over and over)

I was gonna tell you how the silence feels heavy

Kulang ang tapang, hindi pa ako ready.

(Pre-Chorus)

My ego and my heart are at a standstill

Gusto kitang kausapin, pero 'wag na lang

(I want to talk to you, but maybe I shouldn't)

I’m thirsty for a sign, baby, had my fill

Pagod na sa kaka-isip kung nasaan.

(Chorus)

I almost texted you tonight

Almost let the pride slide out of sight

I had "I miss you" locked and loaded in the tray

Pero binura ko rin, at lumayo na lang sabay

(But I deleted it too, and just walked away)

Yeah, I almost hit send, almost let you back in

Muntik na namang matalo sa sariling damdamin

(Almost lost again to my own feelings)

One tap away from starting something new

But I stayed quiet…

I almost texted you.

(Verse 2)

Nakita ko ang litrato mo, biglang bumigat

(I saw your photo, and things suddenly felt heavy)

Ang mga pangako nating tila naglaho na lahat

(All our promises that seem to have vanished)

I wondered if you’re sleeping or you’re wide awake

Hanggang kailan ba ang pusong kailangang mag-antay?

(Until when does the heart have to wait?)

Before the ghost of you finally leaves the room

Ayoko nang maging bilanggo sa nakaraan nating dalawa.

(I don't want to be a prisoner of our past.)

(Bridge)

Isang "Kumusta?" na mauuwi sa "Sana tayo pa"

(A "How are you?" that ends in "I wish we were still together")

Isang mensahe na hindi ko alam kung itutuloy ba

(One message that I don't know if I should push through with)

It’s a slippery slope, a dangerous line

And I’m doing my best to say that I’m fine.

(Chorus)

I almost texted you tonight

Almost let the pride slide out of sight

I had "I miss you" locked and loaded in the tray

Pero binura ko rin, at lumayo na lang sabay

Yeah, I almost hit send, almost let you back in

Muntik na namang matalo sa sariling damdamin

One tap away from starting something new

But I stayed quiet…

I almost texted you.

(Outro)

Muntik na... (Almost...)

Sana hindi ko na lang ginawa. (I wish I hadn't even tried.)

Just a ghost in the drafts...

Paalam na sa "baka sakali." (Goodbye to the "maybe.")

Almost...

But I didn't.
