[Intro – muted guitar, soft snaps]
Yeah…
We were close.
[Verse 1 – hushed, reflective]
Your jacket on the back of my chair,
Like you might come back any second.
We talked in half-sentences,
Both scared of what we were confessin’.
Late nights on the edge of something,
Hands brushing but never tight.
We knew what it meant, we just
Didn’t say it out loud that night.
[Pre-Chorus – gentle lift]
You smiled like you wanted more,
Then looked away like you couldn’t stay.
I felt the answer in the pause
Between the words you wouldn’t say.
[Chorus – soft, aching]
We were almost love, almost forever,
Almost brave enough to try.
Every moment felt like magic,
Every goodbye felt like a lie.
If timing’s all that broke us,
I hope it breaks you gently too.
’Cause we were almost ours,
Yeah, me and you.
[Post-Chorus – low hum, reverb tail]
Mm…
Almost.
[Verse 2 – quiet honesty]
You said you needed space to breathe,
I said I understood the reason.
Truth is, I was holding you
Like summer, knowing it was seasoned.
I watched you choose a safer road,
One without my name in it.
I stayed behind with all the feelings
I didn’t get to finish with.
[Pre-Chorus – deeper realization]
I don’t blame you for leaving,
I just wish you’d looked back once.
Some loves don’t end in heartbreak—
They end before they’ve begun.
[Chorus – fuller, emotional]
We were almost love, almost something real,
Almost everything I needed.
Every touch was soft and careful,
Like we both knew we’d bleed it.
If the right time ever finds us,
I hope it knows what to do.
’Cause we were almost ours,
Yeah, me and you.
[Bridge – stripped, whispered]
Maybe in another life,
We don’t let fear decide.
Maybe I say stay,
Maybe you try.
[Final Chorus – tender acceptance]
We were almost love, and that’s okay,
Some stories don’t need an end.
I’ll keep you as a gentle memory,
Not a loss, not a win.
If you ever think of me,
Know I think of you too.
We were almost ours—
And that meant something… didn’t it?
[Outro – guitar fades, soft exhale]
Yeah…
Almost.
