Almost Yours

**Intro**

Yeah…

I knew better, but I stayed

**Verse 1**

You got your coat on, keys in your hand

Say you gotta go, I say “I understand”

But I don’t really mean it, I just nod slow

Watch you leave like I always know

I memorize the way you say my name

Like it don’t carry weight, like it ain’t flame

I play it cool, but I feel it burn

Love ain’t fair, but I never learn

**Pre-Chorus**

I keep givin’ pieces you don’t ask for

Still hopin’ you’ll see me different somehow

**Chorus**

I’m almost yours, but not quite enough

I’m the late-night call, not the one you love

You lay your head down, but your heart stay gone

I’m here when it’s quiet, you gone by dawn

Yeah I’m almost yours, live in between

Your what-if, your maybe, your in-between dream

I give you all of me, you give me time

I knew the truth—I just crossed the line

---

**Verse 2**

You talk about forever like it’s far away

Like it’s somethin’ for a different face

I laugh it off, say I’m cool with that

But my chest cave in every time you laugh

I know your fears, I know your scars

Know where you go when it gets too hard

But when I reach, you pull back slow

Say you ain’t ready—I already know

**Pre-Chorus**

I keep sayin’ I’ll walk away

But my feet don’t listen to what I say

**Chorus**

I’m almost yours, but I feel alone

I hold you close, but you not my own

You fall asleep on my worn-out couch

I stay awake tryna figure us out

Yeah I’m almost yours, that’s the curse

Loving you first, loving you worse

If I let go, I lose my ground

If I stay, I just slowly drown

---

**Bridge**

Maybe love ain’t meant to save

Maybe some hearts just come to ache

If this pain the price I pay

I guess I’ll sit with it anyway

---

**Verse 3**

If you ever miss me when I’m gone

Hope it hit you soft, not wrong

Hope you wonder if I was real

Hope you feel at least what I feel

I ain’t mad, I just hurt deep

You were my truth, I was your sleep

Something you needed to pass the night

I was wrong for hopin’ for more than that

---

**Final Chorus**

I was almost yours, that’s my crime

Loved you honest at the wrong damn time

If I disappear, don’t be surprised

I had to choose me, even if it hurt inside

Yeah I was almost yours, now I let go

Still love you quiet, but I won’t show

If there’s a version where we align

I’ll miss you there for the rest of my life

---

**Outro**

Yeah…

Some loves don’t end

They just fade out
