Almost Said It Verse 1 You leaned forward Then back again Truth almost rose Then folded in Your fingers traced The edge of the glass Like time was something We let pass Your eyes met mine Then looked away Like what you meant You couldn’t say Pre-Chorus We circle words Like fragile glass Careful to let The moment pass Something alive Between our lips Hesitates Then slips Chorus You almost said it So did I Something honest Let it die Hanging there Between me and you Close enough To feel it move You almost said it I almost tried But silence Chose our side Verse 2 Your breath got shallow For a second or two Like truth was pressing Up through you I felt it rising In my chest The weight of things We never confessed Your hand twitched once Across the space But stopped halfway Before my face Pre-Chorus We don’t lie We just delay The truth we both Can’t make obey It lingers soft Behind the teeth Close enough To taste beneath Chorus You almost said it So did I Something living Watched it die Hovering In the room Like it needed Just a little room You almost said it I almost did But fear is quiet And tightly hid Bridge Maybe if one of us Had let it through It would’ve broken Clean and true Maybe the crack Would’ve set us free Instead of this Between you and me (brief instrumental breath) Final Chorus (Softer, Thinner) You almost said it So did I Now it echoes Every time We sit in silence Side by side Knowing something Still survives You almost said it We let it slip Now it lingers On our lips Outro Not spoken Not denied Just suspended Inside
