**Intro** Yeah… I knew better, but I stayed **Verse 1** You got your coat on, keys in your hand Say you gotta go, I say “I understand” But I don’t really mean it, I just nod slow Watch you leave like I always know I memorize the way you say my name Like it don’t carry weight, like it ain’t flame I play it cool, but I feel it burn Love ain’t fair, but I never learn **Pre-Chorus** I keep givin’ pieces you don’t ask for Still hopin’ you’ll see me different somehow **Chorus** I’m almost yours, but not quite enough I’m the late-night call, not the one you love You lay your head down, but your heart stay gone I’m here when it’s quiet, you gone by dawn Yeah I’m almost yours, live in between Your what-if, your maybe, your in-between dream I give you all of me, you give me time I knew the truth—I just crossed the line --- **Verse 2** You talk about forever like it’s far away Like it’s somethin’ for a different face I laugh it off, say I’m cool with that But my chest cave in every time you laugh I know your fears, I know your scars Know where you go when it gets too hard But when I reach, you pull back slow Say you ain’t ready—I already know **Pre-Chorus** I keep sayin’ I’ll walk away But my feet don’t listen to what I say **Chorus** I’m almost yours, but I feel alone I hold you close, but you not my own You fall asleep on my worn-out couch I stay awake tryna figure us out Yeah I’m almost yours, that’s the curse Loving you first, loving you worse If I let go, I lose my ground If I stay, I just slowly drown --- **Bridge** Maybe love ain’t meant to save Maybe some hearts just come to ache If this pain the price I pay I guess I’ll sit with it anyway --- **Verse 3** If you ever miss me when I’m gone Hope it hit you soft, not wrong Hope you wonder if I was real Hope you feel at least what I feel I ain’t mad, I just hurt deep You were my truth, I was your sleep Something you needed to pass the night I was wrong for hopin’ for more than that --- **Final Chorus** I was almost yours, that’s my crime Loved you honest at the wrong damn time If I disappear, don’t be surprised I had to choose me, even if it hurt inside Yeah I was almost yours, now I let go Still love you quiet, but I won’t show If there’s a version where we align I’ll miss you there for the rest of my life --- **Outro** Yeah… Some loves don’t end They just fade out ---

Almost Yours
