Almost Love

[Intro – soft → drums kick in]
We said don’t call it love…
Yeah, yeah…

⸻

[Verse 1]
You don’t stay but you don’t leave
You’re somewhere in between
Like your hands still on my skin
Even in my dreams

Say it’s nothing, say it’s light
Say we’re just passing time
But the way you say my name
Don’t feel casual to me

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to play it cool, don’t show it
But you already know it
Every time you get that close
I lose my focus

⸻

[Chorus – SUPER catchy]
I don’t wanna love you — na na no
Don’t wanna fall but I can’t let go
You pull me in and I lose control
Yeah, you’re my almost, almost love

I say don’t touch me — then I do
Say I don’t need you — then I do
I swear I won’t but I always do
Yeah, you’re my almost, almost love

⸻

[Verse 2]
You get close then pull away
Like you’re scared you’ll stay
But your body says the things
That your mouth won’t say

We keep dancing on that line
Cross it every time
You look at me like that
And I forget what’s mine

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
We keep saying it’s nothing
But it’s turning into something
Every time you look at me
Like that

⸻

[Chorus – bigger, layered]
I don’t wanna love you — na na no
Don’t wanna fall but I can’t let go
You pull me in and I lose control
Yeah, you’re my almost, almost love

I say don’t touch me — then I do
Say I don’t need you — then I do
I swear I won’t but I always do
Yeah, you’re my almost, almost love

⸻

[Post-Chorus – chanty / crowd vibe]
Almost, almost — that’s what we are
Too close, too close — went too far
Not love, not love — that’s what we said
So why you stuck inside my head?

⸻

[Bridge – stripped → build]
If you asked me, I’d stay (I would)
Even though I know I shouldn’t
You don’t kiss me like it’s nothing
No, you don’t

And I hate how I need it
Every time that you leave it
Right there on the edge
Where we almost mean it

⸻

[Break – pause]
Don’t say love…
Don’t say it…

⸻

[Final Chorus – explosive, highest energy]
I don’t wanna love you — na na no
But I’m too far in to let this go
You pull me in and I lose control
Yeah, you’re my almost, almost love

I say don’t touch me — then I do
Say I don’t need you — then I do
I swear I won’t but I always do
Yeah, you’re my almost, almost love

⸻

[Outro – fading chant]
Almost, almost love…
Yeah, you’re my almost love…
