**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
