Lyrics

ALMOST FOREVER

[Verse 1]

I was finally learning how to be myself,

Had some peace in my head, had my heart on the shelf.

I wasn't looking for you, wasn't asking for a sign,

Then you walked into my life and rearranged mine.

Didn't even notice you, I was lost in my ways,

Then you showed me a future I could see on your face.

You made me wanna grow, made me wanna stay,

Made forever feel real in a temporary place.

[Pre-Chorus]

Then the old me came back, and I let him inside,

Started tearing down the walls that were keeping us alive.

You were reaching for my hand, I was running from the truth,

And I watched the life we built disappear because of me and you.

[Chorus]

Now I'm scratching out the life, all the days that we made,

Trying to bury the person that I used to be afraid.

You were almost forever, that's the part that hurts the most,

'Cause I wanted you beside me, but I didn't know how to hold you close.

You were the lesson I never wanted,

The goodbye I couldn't understand,

I wanted you to be my future,

But I wasn't ready to be that man.

[Verse 2]

Had to let go of the life that I fought to create,

Some things fall apart when you refuse to change.

I thought holding on meant I could keep you near,

Didn't know sometimes love means disappearing through the tears.

And I still think about you when the nights get quiet,

All the things I should've said, all the ways I could've tried it.

You weren't just somebody passing through my life,

You were someone I would've chosen for the rest of mine.

That's what makes it hurt, that's what makes it hard,

You can be the right person at the wrong part of the story.

Maybe you weren't sent to stay, maybe you were sent to show

That I can't build my whole world around someone and lose my own.

[Bridge]

So thank you for the time,

Even though it had to end.

You showed me what I wanted,

And who I couldn't be again.

If somebody loves me like you did,

I swear I'll let it in.

I won't destroy something beautiful

Just to run from where I've been.

[Final Chorus]

I'm scratching out the life, but I'm writing something new,

Keeping every scar that reminds me what I put us through.

You were almost forever, but I'll never call you a mistake,

You were the reason I learned what I can't afford to break.

You were my lesson, not my destiny,

And that's a truth I had to learn.

I lost the person I wanted forever,

So next time love finds me—

I won't let my old self choose.
