[Intro] [Vocal C] We were almost forever Almost a dream come true Almost the kind of story I thought I’d tell with you [Verse 1] [Vocal C] There’s a box under my bed With a movie ticket and your note The one where you said someday We’d have a place to call our own I still remember your old sweater Hanging loose around my arms We were young but we were certain Like love could keep us safe from harm [Pre-Chorus] [Vocal A] But almost doesn’t hold you Almost doesn’t stay Almost is the reason I had to walk away [Chorus] [All] We were almost forever Almost made it through Almost had a lifetime Almost me and you But almost still breaks open When the silence fills the room We were almost forever But almost wasn’t true [Verse 2] [Vocal A] I used to hate the way it ended Like a song without a hook All the pages that we promised Never made it to the book Now I’m not angry, I’m just honest Yeah, I miss you now and then But missing you is not the same As wanting us again [Pre-Chorus 2] [Vocal B] We tried to hold the pieces But they cut us when we stayed Sometimes love is not enough When both hearts lose their way [Chorus] [All] We were almost forever Almost made it through Almost had a lifetime Almost me and you But almost still breaks open When the silence fills the room We were almost forever But almost wasn’t true [Bridge] [Vocal C] I don’t blame the younger me For believing what I felt [Vocal B] I don’t blame the part of you That couldn’t save us from ourselves [Vocal C] We were soft, we were scared [Vocal B] We were holding on too tight [Vocal B + Vocal C] Some love doesn’t disappear It just learns to say goodbye [Soft Breakdown] [Vocal A] So I’ll keep the good days Leave the bad nights Take the lessons Lose the fight No more wishing No more blame Just a memory With your name [Final Chorus] [All] [Vocal B ad-libs] We were almost forever Almost made it through Almost had a lifetime Almost me and you But almost still breaks open When the silence fills the room We were almost forever But almost wasn’t true We were almost forever Almost bright, almost new Almost had the ending I wanted with you [Outro] [Vocal C] We were almost forever And maybe that’s okay Some people change your story But they’re not meant to stay
