Almost forever

We had a spark, burned bright then faded

Laughed in the dark, love overrated

I held your hand through every storm

But you let go when it got warm

I built a dream, you watched it fall

I gave you pieces, you took them all

Now I’m standing here, trying to see

What you were really doing to me

We were almost forever, almost right

Like a flame in the wind on a summer night

We said always, but meant "until it’s hard"

You kissed me like a promise, then tore me apart

And I tried to hold on, but you let go first

Now I’m stitching up silence where love used to hurt

I kept your notes, now they just haunt me

A paper trail of what we won’t be

I wore your hoodie like a shield

Now it just smells like something unreal

You said you’d stay, I believed

But fairy tales are meant to deceive

And I kept hoping you’d turn around

But some hearts never hear the sound

We were almost forever, almost true

Built a house of dreams, with walls see-through

We said always, but meant “until it breaks”

You left me drowning in the love we faked

And I tried to hold on, but you let go first

Now I’m dancing with echoes, and it still hurts

Maybe someday we’ll meet again

Not as lovers, not even friends

Just two strangers who once believed

In a love that couldn’t breathe

We were almost forever, almost mine

Like a song that forgot the last line

We said always, but meant "as long as it’s good"

Now I’m walking away like I should

'Cause I tried to hold on, but you let go first

Now I’m stronger in pieces — and that’s the curse

Yeah, we were almost forever...

But almost never lasts.
