--- ### **[Intro – jangly guitar, soft drums]** Almost. Funny how one word Can ruin a whole love story. --- ### **[Verse 1]** I knew your coffee order You knew every birthday wish We looked like something real enough From everybody else's distance Your friends already knew my name My mom kept asking, "Is he yours?" I laughed and changed the conversation Like I hadn't wondered it before We took the pictures, shared the sunsets Stayed on the phone till half past two Looking back, we had everything... Except the truth. --- ### **[Pre-Chorus]** You held my hand When nobody could see But never held it long enough For the world to believe. --- ### **[Chorus – catchy, emotional]** I was your almost girl Your almost everything Almost wearing your hoodie Almost wearing your ring Almost every love song Almost every dream Close enough to fall for you Too far to be your queen I lived inside your "what if" world While somebody else got forever I was your almost girl... And "almost" lasts the longest. --- ### **[Post-Chorus]** Almost... Almost... That's the word You left me with. --- ### **[Verse 2]** We had our little inside jokes Our favorite corner in the park You'd call whenever life got heavy I'd stay and help you through the dark You made me feel like I was chosen Every single time we'd meet Then somehow when the morning came You'd leave me somewhere incomplete I kept waiting for the moment You'd finally call me yours Instead I watched another chapter Close another door. --- ### **[Pre-Chorus 2]** Maybe we had the right feelings... At the wrong courage. --- ### **[Chorus]** I was your almost girl Your almost home to run to Almost every promise You never followed through Almost introduced me Almost made me stay You kept me one heartbeat away. I learned that "almost forever"... Still ends. --- ### **[Bridge – stripped back]** Sometimes I wonder... If we met At another time... Would I still be The almost? Or would've I been The one? --- ### **[Final Chorus – full-band anthem]** I was your almost girl The chapter with no ending The name you nearly claimed The heart you kept pretending Almost every memory Almost every kiss Funny how the smallest word Can hurt this much. You didn't lose me In one goodbye. You lost me... One "almost" At a time. --- ### **[Outro – soft guitar fades]** I hope one day... You stop calling people "almost." And start choosing them... Before it's too late.
