You reach but you never arrive Touch me but it’s just half-light Every word a sideways glance Never full, never chance You keep her shadow in your skin I breathe you out, you pull me in Say it like it’s true Even if it fades Hold me like you do When you want escape Always almost, never whole You don’t give, you don’t let go I’m the echo, not the song The place you go when you feel wrong Mmm, always close, never close enough Always love — but it’s not enough Your silence heavy in the room Your eyes still searching for her ghost You stay but you’re gone too soon I learn to live with almost Every promise bends and breaks Every touch is a mistake Say it in your breath Say it with your eyes Even if it’s death I’ll believe the lie Always almost, never whole You don’t give, you don’t let go I’m the echo, not the song The place you go when you feel wrong Mmm, always close, never close enough Always love — but it’s not enough Half a flame, half a hand Half a truth I understand If you keep me halfway blind I’ll stay lost between the lines Always almost, never whole You don’t give, you don’t let go Always close, never close enough Always love — but it’s not enough (Always almost, never whole) Always close, never close enough
