You looked away, but stayed so near
A thousand words you’d never say were crystal clear
Your hand in mine, just for a while
And silence knew how to make my heart smile
[Pre-Chorus]
I laughed it off, but I felt the burn
Of every glance we didn’t return
You let me see the side you hide
But love like this don’t pick a side
[Chorus]
I think we were closer than a maybe
Almost more than friends, but never fully, baby
Held your hand like I held my breath
You were here, but not mine yet
I think we were realer than the silence
Something in your touch broke through the quiet
If this was wrong, I’d still rewind it
You were my almost—can’t deny it
[Verse 2]
You let me fix your hair that night
I held your secrets in soft light
You laughed when Azli teased us both
But deep inside, I hoped you’d know
[Pre-Chorus 2]
No one else got to see that side
Where you drop your guard and close your eyes
Maybe you forgot, maybe not
But I remember every soft spot
[Chorus]
I think we were closer than a maybe
Almost more than friends, but never fully, baby
You didn’t say it—but I knew
There was something quiet between me and you
[Bridge]
I don’t blame you, I won’t chase
But part of me still holds that place
Where we were halfway, holding on
To something we knew wouldn’t last long
[Outro]
So here’s to the smiles and half-lit nights
To holding hands and missed green lights
Maybe in another life, we’d try
But for now, I’ll whisper you goodbye
