Verse 1
You said you missed me in the dead of night
Screen-lit lies in a pale blue light
I held your words like they were something true
While you were wrapped up in someone that wasn’t me, wasn’t you
You fed me lines like I was worth the time
Like I wasn’t just your side of the line
I let you crawl underneath my skin
While you were letting her pull you in
Pre-Chorus
I was your secret you could hide away
A late-night fix you’d never claim
You kept me close but never chose me once
Just close enough to keep me numb
Chorus
Texting me while you’re in her bed
Filling my head with shit you never meant
Saying my name like it’s something sacred
While she’s right there, God, I fucking hate it
I was your “almost,” never real
Just something easy you didn’t feel
Tell me, did you laugh after we were done
Knowing I was just your second one?
Verse 2
I gave you everything I couldn’t fake
You gave me crumbs I had to take
I hate that I still hear your voice
Like I was ever your fucking choice
You made me feel like I was rare
Then disappeared like I wasn’t there
Now every word just tastes like dirt
Every memory just fucking hurts
Pre-Chorus
You swore I mattered in your quiet nights
But I was just your in-between life
A body you reached for when you felt alone
Never someone you’d call your own
Chorus
Texting me while you’re in her bed
Messing me up, stuck in my head
You played me soft, you played me sweet
While lying right there in her sheets
I was your “almost,” your in-between
Your little late-night dopamine
Tell me, was it worth the thrill
Breaking me just for the feel?
Bridge
Do you kiss her with the mouth you used on me?
Say the same shit just differently?
Was I just practice for something real
Or just a way for you to feel?
I hope it haunts you when it’s quiet and late
Every word, every fucking mistake
I was breaking, you were bored
Now I’m something you can’t ignore
Final Chorus
You were texting me from her side
While I was losing all my pride
Thought I was something you chose
Now I’m just someone you disposed
I was your “almost,” your dirty secret
Something you used but couldn’t keep it
Now I see through everything you’ve been
I was never love—just placeholder skin
Outro
So keep your lies and your empty touch
And the girl who somehow wasn’t enough
You lost the one who would’ve stayed
For a cheap, fucked up game you played
