Almost Us

Verse 1

It started like a whisper in the middle of the night

Just a name on a screen and a flicker of light

Two strangers trading pieces of a broken past

Didn’t know then if this thing would last

You spoke in riddles, half afraid to fall

Heart behind a wall you couldn’t scale at all

But every little word felt honest and true

And somewhere in the quiet I started loving you

Pre-Chorus

I told myself patience was the price of your heart

Some wounds heal slow when they’ve been torn apart

Chorus

We were almost a story, almost a flame

Almost forever calling my name

Two hearts circling but never the same

Close enough to touch but too far to claim

I held on longer than I should

Believing someday you would

But we were almost love…

Just an almost us

⸻

Verse 2

There were nights full of laughter in the glow of your eyes

And days where silence carried a thousand goodbyes

One step closer, then two steps away

Like the tide pulling every promise astray

I tried to be steady, tried to understand

Every doubt you carried in the palm of your hand

I said I’d be patient, said I wouldn’t run

But loving a ghost is loving no one

Pre-Chorus

You said you cared, I know you tried

But some hearts hide where love can’t find

Chorus

We were almost a story, almost a flame

Almost forever calling my name

Two hearts circling but never the same

Close enough to touch but too far to claim

I held on longer than I should

Believing someday you would

But we were almost love…

Just an almost us

⸻

Bridge

Maybe in another life

Another time, another road

Where fear didn’t weigh so heavy

And your heart wasn’t such a load

Maybe we’d have made it

Maybe we’d have been enough

But sometimes fate just writes a line

That ends before the love

⸻

Final Chorus

We were almost a story, almost a flame

Almost forever calling my name

A chapter written but never the end

A lesson disguised as a friend

And I finally learned what I couldn’t see

Some hearts aren’t meant to stay with me

But we were almost love…

Yeah, we were almost love…

Just an almost us
