[Verse 1] You brushed my hand and time stood still, I smiled like I was hard to thrill. You laughed at something I didn’t hear, But I memorized the way you looked sincere. [Bridge] You talked about the moon last night, How it’s never full at the wrong time. I nodded, biting back the truth I almost said “I love you.” [Chorus] But I held it like a secret note, Pressed between the lines I wrote. Did you feel it? I think you knew… I almost said it, but not to you. Not out loud… just in my mind, Where nothing’s ever right on time. [Verse 3] Your shoulder brushed against my side, I felt the silence come alive. And in that space I caught a glimpse, Of something real that doesn’t exist. [Bridge] You said goodnight like you were fine, But left the pause between the lines. I almost reached, but stayed right here Too full of hope, too full of fear. [Bridge] Maybe love is just a dream That only speaks when we’re asleep. You looked away, I stayed the same. I whispered your name into the flame. [Chorus (Reprise)] I held it like a sacred truth, Too fragile to belong to you. Did you hear it in what I didn’t do? I almost said it… but I never do. [Outro] Maybe some words are meant to fade, Like flowers cut the day they’re made. Still, I almost said it. Almost.
