Verse 1
You were headlights on an empty street
Flickered bright, then you disappeared from me
I still hear your laugh in my sleep
Echoes of what we could’ve been
Pre-Chorus
And I keep running circles in my mind
Trying to rewrite every goodbye
But I can’t change the line we crossed
Between what’s found and what’s lost
Chorus
We were almost something, almost right
Like a spark that fades before it lights
Every word we left unspoken
Still hangs between the open
We were close enough to feel the flame
But too scared to call it by its name
Yeah, we were almost something
Almost something tonight
Verse 2
You still show up in my mirror eyes
Like a ghost that never learned to hide
Maybe timing wasn’t on our side
Maybe love was just too shy
Pre-Chorus
And I keep dreaming softer every time
You’re the verse I can’t quite rhyme
But I still hum it every day
Like maybe you’ll hear me anyway
Chorus
We were almost something, almost right
Like a spark that fades before it lights
Every word we left unspoken
Still hangs between the open
We were close enough to feel the flame
But too scared to call it by its name
Yeah, we were almost something
Almost something tonight
Bridge
If I had one more minute
Would I finally admit it?
That losing you still feels like
A song I never finished
Final Chorus
We were almost something, almost right
Like a sunset gone before the night
Every word we left unspoken
Still hangs between the open
We were close enough to feel the flame
But too scared to call it by its name
Yeah, we were almost something
Almost something tonight
