Verse 1
We met in the silence before the words
In the pause where the universe almost turned
Your eyes knew my secrets, mine knew your pain
Like we’d loved before but forgot the names
Verse 2
Every laugh felt borrowed, every touch a lie
’Cause we both knew the truth was standing nearby
Time watched us closely, counting the cost
Every second together, something else lost
Pre-Chorus
We memorized exits before we stayed
Learned how to leave without walking away
Chorus
We are two souls written in different skies
Same kind of stars, never aligned
I love you in ways I’ll never confess
In lives that don’t let us say “yes”
We’re a beautiful story that fate won’t allow
Two souls that love—but not here, not now
Verse 3
I trace your name in the cracks of my mind
Erase it slowly, then write it again
You hold my heart like a fragile crime
Something too precious to turn in
Verse 4
We talk about nothing, avoid what’s true
Like the future doesn’t include me and you
Your smile says “stay,” your voice says “run”
We’re both pretending this won’t come undone
Pre-Chorus 2
If love were enough, we’d already be there
But love doesn’t cancel the weight we bear
Chorus
We are two souls written in different skies
Same kind of stars, never aligned
I love you in ways I’ll never confess
In lives that don’t let us say “yes”
We’re a beautiful story that fate won’t allow
Two souls that love—but not here, not now
Post-Chorus
Not here, not now
Not in this lifetime, not somehow
Verse 5
I keep your ghost in the safest place
Between my ribs and my restraint
If I said your name the way I want
The whole world would hear what we can’t
Verse 6
You say you’re fine, and I say it too
Like lies aren’t louder when they’re the truth
We’re experts at holding the line
Between what we feel and what we deny
Bridge
Maybe we’re meant to be almost love
The kind that teaches, not the kind that stays
Some hearts are doors we never open
Still, we stand outside them every day
Bridge 2
I’d choose you in every universe I find
But this one won’t let you be mine
So I’ll fold my want into something kind
And call it destiny, call it time
Break
If I let myself fall, I’d fall too far
So I stand here, breaking where I am
Final Chorus
We are two souls learning how to let go
Holding on to what we’ll never know
I’ll love you quietly, I’ll lay you down
In every song that won’t make a sound
We’re a beautiful story the stars deny
Still burning bright in a distant sky
Extended Outro
When you’re happy, I’ll smile from afar
When you’re hurting, I’ll feel the scar
I won’t chase you, I won’t ask how
I’ll just love you—always, somehow
Outro (Spoken or Soft)
If love is eternal, I’ll meet you again
Where “almost” ends and forever begins
