[Intro]
Yeah
You almost
You almost loved me
[Verse 1]
Met you in a thrifted tee, ripped sleeves
You said you hate your past, but it still sleeps
In the back of your head like bad TV
Flicker in your stare every time you’d breathe
You liked my trauma like a new tattoo
Said you loved my rage, how it matched your mood
Screaming in the car down an empty road
You turned up my pain like a private show
You called me "safe" then you called your ex
You said "relax" while you read my texts
You fed me lines like you fed your feed
I was just content you forgot to keep
[Chorus]
You almost loved me
Got close enough to cut me
Held my heart with one loose hand
Then let it slip like nothing
You almost saved me
Pulled me right back to the edge
Then watched me fall and didn’t flinch
You almost loved me
[Verse 2]
Now I see your ghost in the cracked phone glass
Every little lie in the typing flash
You said I’m "extra," said I feel too deep
But you dug the well when you kissed my teeth
Told all your friends I was "kind of intense"
Meanwhile you were sharp like a chain-link fence
You said I’m "different," yeah, I’m not your clone
You want a warm body with a frozen soul
You left your jacket and your cheap perfume
In the bottom drawer of my tidy room
I threw your pictures in a midnight fire
Watched your perfect face melt into the wire
[Chorus]
You almost loved me
Got close enough to cut me
Held my heart with one loose hand
Then let it slip like nothing
You almost saved me
Pulled me right back to the edge
Then watched me fall and didn’t flinch
You almost loved me
[Bridge]
Funny how you text when you’re bored at night
"Miss your chaos" like that line still bites
You just miss the way that I took your blame
Wore your damage like a borrowed chain
I’m not your bandage, I’m not your fix
Not your late-night ego hit
If you ever wonder what you lost in me
Play this loud and feel it bleed
[Chorus]
