Almost Mine

You look at me like I’m not there

Like I’m a ghost that fills the air

I give you all, you take your time

But never let your heart meet mine

I dance in shadows you don’t see

I drown in what you don’t believe

You’re close enough to feel my skin

But far enough to never let me in

I love you in silence

You don’t even try

I hold on to moments

You just let them die

You’re here, but you’re blind

And I’m stuck in the line

Between what we are

And what we’ll never find

I was almost yours

You were never mine

(You were never mine, never mine)

(Still I stay, still I try)

You don’t see the way I break

When you leave and it feels fake

I pretend that I’m just fine

While you forget I’m even trying

I know your heart’s a locked up door

I knock, you don’t hear me anymore

But still I wait, still I believe

In something you’ll never feel for me

I love you in silence

You don’t even care

I’m chasing a dream

That isn’t there

You’re warm, but not kind

And I stay by design

Between what we are

And what we’ll never find

I was almost yours

You were never mine

Maybe in a different life

You would’ve turned around

But I’m done reaching

For what can’t be found

(Almost yours, never mine)

(Loving you, wasting time)

Still I stay…

Still I shine
