Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You brushed the hair Off my tired face Laughed at my fears Like they were out of place You held my hand Only halfway tight Just enough To keep me up at night [Chorus] You were almost mine In another life Maybe In a softer time Where the timing didn’t break me I can feel your name Still trembling in my throat You were almost mine But almost doesn’t hold [Verse 2] I still see you In the smallest things In the coffee cup And the phone that never rings We drew our plans On a paper napkin Folded them small Watched them never happen [Chorus] You were almost mine In another life Maybe In a softer time Where the timing didn’t break me I can feel your name Still trembling in my throat You were almost mine But almost doesn’t hold [Bridge] I wish you well More than I wish you back (oh, I try) But some nights I fall Through every what-if and every lack If love is a door We never quite walked through I’ll stand in the hallway Just a moment Remembering you [Chorus] You were almost mine And I loved you like you’d stay In a borrowed dream That morning stole away I will carry us In a place the world ignores You were almost mine Almost never yours

Intimate piano ballad with female vocals; soft, resonant keys and a warm, deep pad underneath. Verse 1 stays close and whisper-like, then swells into a cinematic, string-laced chorus with gentle rises and falls. Subtle reverb on vocal, tender backing harmonies in the second chorus, letting each pause and breath feel heavy and human., beautiful, deep, heartfelt, ballad, soft
