[Intro – distant pad + vinyl crackle]
Mm…
I still feel you…
Even when I shouldn’t.
[Verse 1 – hushed, vulnerable]
Your sweater still smells like your skin,
Hanging where the light can’t reach in.
I tell myself I’m doing fine,
But missing you is my bad habit tonight.
Every word we didn’t say
Sits heavy in the quiet space.
I replay your laugh too slow,
Like maybe it’ll hurt less if I know.
[Pre-Chorus – airy lift, soft harmony]
We were close but never right,
Two hearts scared of the timing.
I held you like you’d stay,
But love doesn’t always listen.
[Chorus – melancholic, melodic hook]
We were almost forever,
Almost enough to survive.
If love was measured in moments,
You were the best part of my life.
Now I’m holding on to echoes,
To the way your name still fits.
We were almost forever…
And that’s the part that hurts like this.
[Post-Chorus – whispered ad-libs]
Mm… almost…
Yeah… almost…
[Verse 2 – deeper, aching]
I see you in the little things,
In songs I skip, in broken strings.
I know you didn’t mean to leave,
But loving you took more than me.
I learned your heartbeat by memory,
Still feel it when I close my eyes.
Funny how something so real
Can turn into a goodbye.
[Pre-Chorus – layered, fragile]
I don’t blame you, don’t blame me,
Just the space between what we need.
I’d still choose you every time,
Even knowing how it ends.
[Chorus – fuller, emotional]
We were almost forever,
Almost enough to survive.
If love was measured in moments,
You were the best part of my life.
Now I’m holding on to echoes,
To the way your name still fits.
We were almost forever…
And that’s the part that hurts like this.
[Bridge – stripped, near-silence]
Mm…
If I could rewrite one night,
I’d stay longer in your arms.
Not to change the ending,
Just to feel it one more time.
[Final Chorus – soft but heavy]
We were almost forever,
And I still feel it sometimes.
Love doesn’t fade when it’s real,
It just learns how to hide.
I’ll carry you quietly,
Like a scar I don’t regret.
We were almost forever…
Yeah… I won’t forget.
[Outro – fading pad + breath]
Mm…
Almost…
Still feels like you.
