Almost

Almost

Verse 1
You knew my coffee, knew my street
Knew every song that made me weak
We stayed up talking till the morning
But never called it what it was
You held my hand beneath the table
Made me believe that we were able
Then every time I got too close
You'd pull away and call it love
Pre-Chorus
And I don't miss you like I thought I would
I miss the girl who thought you could
Turn all those maybes into something real
Now I know exactly how an almost feels
Chorus
We were almost forever
Almost you and me
Almost had a future
Almost couldn't leave
You were almost my somebody
I was almost your girl
Now I'm stuck between the ending
And the life we almost had in this world
Oh-oh, almost
That's the hardest word to say
'Cause you didn't break my heart
You just never gave it a chance to break
Verse 2
I saw your name light up my phone
For half a second, then it was gone
Funny how you still know exactly
When I'm finally moving on
I don't hate you, that's the problem
If I did, then I'd have solved it
But there's a thousand little moments
That still make me wonder what if
Bridge
Maybe in another life
You don't get scared; I don't get tired
Maybe we don't leave it hanging
Maybe we don't call it timing
But this is now, and now I'm free
From waiting for what we'll never be
Final Chorus
We were almost forever
Almost you and me
Almost had a future
Almost couldn't leave
You were almost my somebody
I was almost your girl
Now I'm done living halfway
In an almost kind of world
Oh-oh, almost
I finally know the truth
Sometimes the closest thing to losing someone
Is never getting to have them in the first place
