Almost

[Verse 1]
I still keep the key where you left it,
like I don’t know how to throw it away.
Thought I knew what forever meant,
but now forever’s just something people say.
You held me like I was your always,
but your always came with an ending.
You said love, but love shouldn’t
feel this much like pretending.

[Pre-Chorus]
And I replay every moment
like it could change if I just tried—
but the truth won’t rewrite itself,
no matter how many times.

[Chorus]
We were almost something holy,
almost something true,
almost found a forever
in the shadow of you.
But almost doesn’t save me
when I’m lying here alone.
We were almost everything,
but almost can’t be home.

[Verse 2]
I still dream about the moments
that made your world feel like mine.
Even the quiet stuck to me,
like echoes I can’t leave behind.
But loving you was borrowed time,
a house I could never keep.
You built me walls of maybe,
then buried me underneath.

[Pre-Chorus]
I still search for reasons
that could make it make some sense,
but almost isn’t comfort—
it just cuts like consequence.

[Chorus]
We were almost something holy,
almost something true,
almost found a forever
in the shadow of you.
But almost doesn’t save me
when I’m lying here alone.
We were almost everything,
but almost can’t be home.

[Bridge]
Maybe in another lifetime
we don’t break like this.
Maybe in another lifetime
forever actually fits.

[Chorus]
We were almost something holy,
almost something true,
almost found a forever—
but forever wasn’t you.
Now I’m piecing back my pieces,
learning how to stand alone.
We were almost everything,
but almost can’t be home.

[Outro]
Almost…
Almost can’t be home.
