Goodbye, My Almost Always

[Verse]
The moon still hangs where it always does
A witness to what we almost was
Your shadow lingers
A faded stain
A quiet echo in the falling rain
[Chorus]
Goodbye my almost always
The light that slipped through cracks in days
We burned so bright
We burned so brief
A spark of joy
A spark of grief
[Verse 2]
Your laugh still floats like a ghostly tune
A distant hum under silver moon
I see you now in the softest glow
A love we had
A love let go
[Prechorus]
We were a fire
We were a breeze
Now just the rustle of forgotten leaves
[Chorus]
Goodbye my almost always
The light that slipped through cracks in days
We burned so bright
We burned so brief
A spark of joy
A spark of grief
[Bridge]
No blame to give
No tears to take
Just broken dreams and hearts that ache
The road was kind
The road was cruel
It gave us wings
It made us fools
