[Verse 1]
I learned every line on your face
Called all your ghosts by their names
Stood in the wings of your life
Clapping for someone else’s light
[Chorus]
But I was only almost enough for you
Close to the fire
Never burning through
You took what you needed
Then slipped from my hands
I loved you in color
You saw me in grey
You were my always
I was your someday
[Verse 2]
I practiced the words you might say
Played our first kiss in my brain
You laughed and it felt like a sign
Guess I was reading my hope
Not your mind
[Chorus]
‘Cause I was only almost enough for you
Close to the fire
Never burning through
You took what you needed
Then slipped from my hands
I loved you in color
You saw me in grey
You were my always
I was your someday
[Bridge]
Tell me
Did you ever almost fall? (almost)
Or was it just my heartbeat in that empty hall?
I held the door open
Till my fingers froze
You never walked through
You just watched me close
[Chorus]
So I was only almost enough for you
Close to the fire
Never burning through
You took what you needed
Then slipped from my hands
I loved you in color
You saw me in grey
You were my always
I was your someday
You were my always
I was your someday
