Almost

Intro (soft, airy)

(whispered)
Yeah…
You always come back when I’m good…
Why you do that…

⸻

Verse 1 (soft / almost talking)

I don’t even like you like that
But I still keep fallin’ right back
You text, I smile, then I hate that
‘Cause I know where your mind at

We ain’t even cross that line yet
Still you got me in my head, yeah
Got me checkin’ for a message
Like it’s somethin’ I should invest in

(ad-lib: “why though…”)

⸻

Pre-Chorus (build emotion)

I tell myself I’m done, I’m through
Then I see your name, I lose
And I don’t even know the truth…

(soft echo: “the truth…”)

⸻

Hook (VIRAL – layered vocals)

I could be yours… but I don’t trust it
You say you care… but it don’t feel like nothin’
Why you only show up when I’m done with it?
I ain’t tryna be your almost love again

(echo: “almost… almost…”)
(background: “don’t trust it… no I don’t…”)

⸻

Verse 2 (a little stronger, still controlled)

Now you tryna move it forward
But I don’t know what you call this
Where was you when I was all in?
Now it’s different, now you want this

And I see it in your timing
Only hit me when it’s quiet
Got me feelin’ like I’m slidin’
Into somethin’ I can’t fight, yeah

(ad-lib: “be real… be real…”)

⸻

Pre-Chorus (stronger)

If it was real, I wouldn’t question you
If it was love, I wouldn’t feel used
And I’m tired of these “what we do”…

⸻

Hook (fuller vocals)

I could be yours… but I don’t trust it
You say you care… but it don’t feel like nothin’
Why you only show up when I’m done with it?
I ain’t tryna be your almost love again

(echo: “almost… almost…”)

⸻

Bridge (STRIPPED – TikTok viral moment)

(soft, emotional, almost whisper-singing)
Maybe I’m stuck on what we could’ve been
But you don’t love me, you just need someone

(pause… let it breathe)

You don’t miss me, you miss access
And I hate that I still let this happen

(whisper ad-lib: “I see it now…”)

⸻

Final Hook (confidence + power)

I could be yours… but I won’t do it
I see the signs, yeah I been knew it
You had a chance, but you blew it
I ain’t your almost, I’m done with it

I could be yours… but I choose better
Somethin’ real, not just whenever
You come around, then disappear again
I ain’t your almost love again

(background layers: “almost… not anymore…”)

⸻

Outro (soft fade)

Almost…
I was almost yours…
But not anymore…

(faint echo: “not anymore…”)

emotional, a little addictive, soft but confident, Soft Trap Soul
