Almost yours

Verse 1)
I see you in the quiet, in the spaces in between
Every word you never say still echoes back to me
I memorize your laughter like a song I can’t replay
‘Cause every time I get too close, you slowly drift away

(Pre-Chorus)
I tried to be the one you needed
But I was loving you alone
You held my hand but never kept it
Now I’m learning to let go

(Chorus)
I was almost yours, but never really had you
Gave you all my heart, but you just let it pass through
I kept holding on, you kept pulling back
Loving you was easy, but you couldn’t love me back
Now I’m standing here with pieces in the dark
You were in my arms, but never in my heart

(Verse 2)
You look at me like I’m somebody you could love
But something in your soul won’t let you open up
And I can’t compete with shadows in your past
So I’m losing to a memory I never had

(Pre-Chorus)
I gave you time, I gave you patience
Gave you more than I should give
But loving you without you loving me
Ain’t no way for me to live

(Chorus)
I was almost yours, but never really had you
Gave you all my heart, but you just let it pass through
I kept holding on, you kept pulling back
Loving you was easy, but you couldn’t love me back
Now I’m standing here with pieces in the dark
You were in my arms, but never in my heart

(Bridge)
Maybe in another life, you’d choose me
Maybe in another time, you’d see
What I saw in you, what you meant to me
But right now, I gotta set my heart free

(Breakdown)
Ohhh… I can’t keep drowning in your silence
No more fighting for your love alone

(Final Chorus)
I was almost yours, but never really had you
Felt like something real, but it just wasn’t true
Now I’m letting go, even though it hurts
‘Cause loving you like this only made it worse
And I’ll find a love that don’t feel so far
I was almost yours… but now I’m who I are

(Outro)
Yeah… I was almost yours
But I’ll be mine again… 💔
