ALMOST ENOUGH You came around Right when life got heavy And desperation got real quiet in me I mistook attention For something holy Just because I was tired of carrying lonely Fear has a way Of lowering the lights Making red flags Look warm at night Funny how fear Can make you almost feel like enough Almost loved Almost safe Almost somebody That someone could hold onto But almost peace Still leaves you empty And almost love Ain’t love to me You wanted softness Without the patience Wanted closeness Without real intention And I was exhausted enough To confuse relief with connection Now the room feels lighter Now my chest unlocked Funny how peace arrived Right after I blocked you Funny how fear Can make you almost feel like enough But I’d rather stand alone Than disappear slowly Trying to earn what should come freely A glass half full Still counts for something When your soul been thirsty that long And almost love Can keep you warm For a moment Nothing is something sometimes That’s the dangerous part You don’t notice the cost Till you’ve paid for temporary comfort With years you can’t get back Funny how survival Can make almost Feel holy
