(Verse 1)
I still hear you laughing in the corners of my mind,
Like a song I used to play but can’t rewind.
We were nothing on paper, but something in truth,
A quiet kind of ache that felt a lot like proof.
I never said I loved you, but I hope you somehow knew—
Some things are louder when they’re silent,
And mine were screaming over you.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I hate how you don’t even know
The way you held me without trying at all.
I kept it light, you kept your distance—
But I fell anyway.
(Chorus)
You weren’t mine, but losing you still broke me.
An almost-love that cut just like the real thing.
I held the door wide open, but you never walked through—
Guess you can’t lose what you never had…
But somehow I still lost you.
Yeah, somehow I still lost you.
(Verse 2)
Everyone says it shouldn’t hurt, because it never had a name—
But even unnamed storms can wreck you just the same.
I told myself I’d move on, that feelings fade with time,
But your ghost keeps showing up in every almost-right guy.
It’s cruel how something never started
Can still have such an awful end.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I wish that you had ever turned
To see the fire I kept quietly burned.
Maybe you’d stay—
Or maybe you’d run,
But at least I’d know why I’m undone.
(Chorus)
You weren’t mine, but losing you still broke me.
An almost-love that cut just like the real thing.
I held the door wide open, but you never walked through—
Guess you can’t lose what you never had…
But somehow I still lost you.
Yeah, somehow I still lost you.
(Bridge)
Maybe in another life,
You’d see me the way I saw you.
Maybe in another life,
I wouldn’t feel foolish for wanting you.
But here in this one,
It’s just me and the echo
Of a love that almost was.
(Final Chorus)
You weren’t mine, but God, it still broke me.
An almost-love that cut deeper than the real thing.
I was ready to fall; you were ready to leave—
Guess you can’t lose what you never had…
But heartbreak doesn’t care what’s true.
Somehow I still lost you.
Yeah… somehow, I still lost you.
