Prompt / Lyrics
(Emotion/Energy: bittersweet, tender, aching Emphasize words: “almost yours,” “gave my all,” “drew the line” Tempo: slow Feel: barefoot, reflective, storybook-gospel-blues Dynamics: soft/hushed verses; chorus slightly stronger; bridge very intimate, close-mic feel) Verse 1 You were almost mine, right in my hands I traced the lines, I learned your plans I held you close, I gave my all But some hearts can’t answer the call Verse 2 I loved too deeply, I loved too true I offered all I had to you I let you go, though I wanted to stay Some love is brief, then drifts away Chorus Almost yours, almost mine I felt your heart, I felt the time I gave my all, you gave your part Some stories end before they start Almost yours, almost mine I held you close, then drew the line Verse 3 I see you in the quiet room I see the light, I see the gloom I carry you where I can’t take you And hold the love I never knew Pre-Chorus Some love is tender, some love is fierce Some love heals, some love pierces Chorus Almost yours, almost mine I felt your heart, I felt the time I gave my all, you gave your part Some stories end before they start Almost yours, almost mine I held you close, then drew the line Bridge I don’t regret the way I care Even when no one else is there The love I gave still lives inside It’s almost yours, but I survived Final Chorus Almost yours, almost mine I felt your heart, I felt the time I gave my all, you gave your part Some stories end before they start Almost yours, almost mine I held you close, then let you be And even loss can set you free (soft hum, gentle guitar fade, like a quiet sigh)
