Horseshoes & Hand Grenades

[Intro – Spoken/Rhythm Hook] Almost. Almost kissed me, almost stayed. But hey— Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. ⸻ [Verse 1] You liked my lips, but not my name Told your friends we were “a thing” You played the part, but not the game You lit a match, then walked away ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Left me on read, but not quite ghosted I was close… but not the closest Now I’m laughing just to mask the pain ’Cause you almost drove me insane ⸻ [Chorus] Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades You said “maybe” then you hit the brakes We were fireworks with no parade A slow-burn crush that never stayed You held my hand, but not my name So I’m done playing halfway games Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades ⸻ [Verse 2] You played it cool, I played along Thought I was right—you proved me wrong You blurred the lines, I colored in You left a mess with a stupid grin ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Let’s not put a label on it” Cool. Till I saw you with him in August Now I’m writing you out of my head Like you never got in ⸻ [Chorus] Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades You said “maybe” then you hit the brakes We were fireworks with no parade A slow-burn crush that never stayed You held my hand, but not my name So I’m done playing halfway games Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades ⸻ [Bridge – Breakdown + Build] No ring, no rules, no reason to cry But still, I burned—don’t know why Almost had me Almost got me Almost made me lose my mind ⸻ [Final Chorus – Lifted] Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades You got close, then you walked away We were almost everything Now we’re nothing but clichés So here’s your trophy for the fade Congrats—you almost made me stay But almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades [Bridge – Breakdown + Build] No ring, no rules, no reason to cry But still, I burned— don’ t know why Almost had me Almost got me Almost made me lose my mind ⸻ [Final Chorus – Lifted] Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades You got close, then you walked away We were almost everything Now we’ re nothing but clichés So here’ s your trophy for the fade Congrats— you almost made me stay But almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades [Final Chorus – Lifted] Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades You got close, then you walked away We were almost everything Now we’ re nothing but clichés So here’ s your trophy for the fade Congrats— you almost made me stay But almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades
