Almost

Intro

Yeah…

It’s crazy how I can give my whole heart

And still feel like I’m askin’ for too much.

I don’t fall often—

But when I do, I fall all the way.

If loving you cost me myself…

I still paid it.

Verse 1

I don’t fall in love, I fall too deep,

I give you parts of me I barely keep.

I listen close when you say my name,

Like maybe this time it’ll stay the same.

Late-night rides, city hums low,

Every street know secrets I don’t show.

I love with hope, I love with fear,

Every time I care, I disappear.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t ask for much, just honesty,

But I keep givin’ more than what I need.

I read between words you never say,

And still convince myself you’ll stay.

Hook (Chorus)

I’m always almost chosen, never the one,

Always the moon, never the sun.

I give my heart, you hold it a while,

Then hand it back with a broken smile.

I’m always almost chosen, feel it inside,

Close enough to love… close enough to cry.

Verse 2

Passenger seat still callin’ your name,

Your laugh still echoes inside my brain.

Black on black, red lights blur,

Every memory still look like her.

You felt like home when the night got cold,

But you never unpacked, you just passed through my soul.

You said “it’s not you,” but it always is,

I keep losin’ myself tryin’ to keep this.

Pre-Chorus

I don’t rush love, I just feel fast,

See a future while you see the past.

I love loud, you love safe,

So I bleed quietly in my space.

Hook (Chorus)

I’m always almost chosen, stuck in between,

Too much for comfort, not enough to keep.

I stay loyal to what we could be,

While you keep one foot ready to leave.

I’m always almost chosen, yeah it’s true,

I’m easy to love… just not to choose.

Bridge (Confession)

Maybe I love harder than I should,

Stay longer than anybody would.

I forgive silence, I excuse the space,

Call it patience when it’s just replaced.

I don’t need perfection, I need someone who stays,

When the feelings get heavy, not scared away.

If I ever scared you by how I care,

Just know it’s real — that’s all I had there.

Final Hook (Softer)

I’m always almost chosen, I feel it now,

Every goodbye starts with a vow.

“I’ll still be here,” but you fade from view,

And I’m left loving the ghost of you.

Outro (Smooth, Sad Ending)

So I’ll drive slow, let the night breathe,

Let the radio say what you couldn’t say to me.

If loving you was the lesson I chose,

I’ll heal in silence… and let you go.
