Intro (Soft Spoken)

Yeah…
It wasn’t heartbreak at first…
It was hope.
The kind that almost felt like home…
Until it didn’t.

⸻

Verse 1

We weren’t official, but it felt so real
Late night talks, I knew how you’d feel
You held me close like you meant to stay
Then disappeared the very next day

I learned your silence like a second language
Learned your love came with damage
You gave me pieces, never the whole
And I still tried to hold on

⸻

Pre-Chorus

And I kept pretending
That halfway was enough
But deep down I knew…
It wasn’t love.

⸻

Chorus

It was almost love
Almost forever
Almost the kind of thing
That could hold us together

But you stopped short
Right from the start
Left me with feelings
And a broken heart

It was almost us
Almost true
Almost love…
But not enough to choose

⸻

Verse 2

You said the right things, but you never moved
You wanted my warmth, but not my truth
I was your comfort, your in-between
But never your certainty

You didn’t want to lose me
Just didn’t want to keep me
So I stayed stuck in the middle
Of what you wouldn’t be

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2

I got tired
Of guessing where I stand
Love shouldn’t feel like
Sand slipping through my hands…

⸻

Chorus (Repeat)

It was almost love
Almost forever
Almost the kind of thing
That could hold us together

But you stopped short
Right from the start
Left me with feelings
And a broken heart

It was almost us
Almost true
Almost love…
But not enough to choose

⸻

Bridge (Emotional Realization)

Maybe I wanted it more
Maybe I filled in the gaps
Made excuses for your distance
While my heart collapsed

But I see it now
Clear as day
Almost love still hurts
When it fades away

⸻

Final Chorus (Closure)

It was almost love
But love don’t hesitate
Love don’t leave you reaching
For someone halfway

I gave you space
I gave you time
But you never gave me certainty
Only gave me signs

It was almost us…
But I’m walking away
From almost.

⸻

Outro (Soft Spoken)

Almost love…
Is the hardest thing to forget…
Because it never fully ended…
It just never began.
