Almost Said Enough

“Almost Said Enough”

I gave you pieces of my sky,

You never even looked up.

I lit a fire in the dark,

You never felt the heat rise.

I kept waiting on a spark,

You kept calling it “bad timing.”

Funny how you always needed me

But never wanted us.

And I hate that I still rewind—

Every word, every look in your eyes.

Trying to find something real

In things you never tried.

’Cause I almost said I love you,

But you never even said you liked me.

I was shouting in my silence,

You were busy staying icy.

How’d I fall so hard

For someone who stood still?

Guess you can’t lose what you never felt,

But damn, I feel it still.

Yeah, I almost said I love you…

You almost said enough.

You’d pull me in then push me back,

A heartbreak in slow motion.

I was dizzy from your half-smiles,

Drunk on every mixed emotion.

You played “maybe” like a weapon,

I played brave like it was nothing.

But I was breaking in the quiet

While you never heard a sound.

And I hate that I still believe

There was more underneath.

But some stories fall apart

Before they learn how to breathe.

’Cause I almost said I love you,

But you never even said you liked me.

I was shouting in my silence,

You were busy staying icy.

How’d I fall so hard

For someone who stood still?

Guess you can’t lose what you never felt,

But damn, I feel it still.

Yeah, I almost said I love you…

You almost said enough.

I’m done writing dreams on empty pages,

Done waiting for your half-hearted phrases.

I’m taking back the parts of me

I left at your door.

You don’t get to keep my hope anymore.

So I won’t say I love you,

’Cause I finally learned you can’t hurt me.

I was drowning in the maybe,

Now I’m rising to the surface.

How’d I fall so hard

For someone standing still?

You can’t lose what you never felt—

But I’ll heal, I will.

Yeah, I almost said I love you…

But now I’m loving me enough
