Almost Love

Verse 1
Waking up with morning light,
Warmth still lingers from the night.
But my thoughts, they start to race—
How soon ‘til you leave this place?

It’s lonely when you’re gone,
Like the moon without its dawn.
Shining bright in borrowed light,
Stars too distant in the night.

Pre-Chorus
We said we’d keep it all discreet,
"Just friends" if someone asks or peeks.
But one call and there I was,
A soft launch wrapped in your applause.

Chorus
I don’t know what to call this—
Friends with lines that always twist.
One thing’s clear inside of me:
You don’t feel the same for me.
Still, I stay in this design,
Everything’s wrong but feels just fine.

Hook (repeatable + humming)
Mmm-mmm (oh-oh-oh) feels just fine, feels just fine,
Wrong for me but still feels fine.
Mmm-mmm (oh-oh-oh) feels just fine, feels just fine,
Holding on though you’re not mine.

Verse 2
Why’d you flex me to your friends?
I thought this game had no loose ends.
Is it real now, or pretend?
Are you proud or just playing pretend?
Is it love, or just your pride—
To show me off, then run and hide?

Pre-Chorus
Now I’m trying to keep it cool,
Stick to the unspoken rules.
Please don’t break this little deal—
Even if it’s hard to feel.

Chorus
I don’t know what to call this—
Friends with lines that always twist.
One thing’s clear inside of me:
You don’t feel the same for me.
Still, I stay in this design,
Everything’s wrong but feels just fine.

Hook (repeatable + humming)
Mmm-mmm (oh-oh-oh) feels just fine, feels just fine,
Wrong for me but still feels fine.
Mmm-mmm (oh-oh-oh) feels just fine, feels just fine,
Holding on though you’re not mine.

Bridge
Maybe it’s worse than love defined,
This in-between that traps my mind.
But I’ll be here, I’ll play my part,
Just don’t take back your warmth and heart.

Outro
And when this story meets its end,
I’ll pray we still can call it "friend."
'Cause through the mess, through every fall,
Mmm-mmm… your warmth’s the most real of all.
