[Verse 1] We met like it was written in the stars Like every wrong road led me to your heart You said, “this feels like something real” And I believed in every word you sealed You said I was supposed to be your person But somehow your actions felt so wrong But shadows followed where we tried to stand A ghost you held that I could never understand I saw the way your phone would light And how your voice would change at night [Pre-Chorus] I stayed when it was breaking me in two You stayed, but not the way I needed you [Chorus] I was ready to be your forever You were stuck in yesterday Holding on to someone hurting us But you just couldn’t walk away And I kept choosing you in pieces While you chose them in between We were almost something perfect But “almost” kills a dream [Verse 2] I tried to be the calm inside your storm But I was drowning just to keep you warm You said, “they need me, they’re alone” But what about the love we’ve grown? I felt you slipping through my hands Loving you was never in my plans To hurt this much, to lose this way To beg for space where I could stay [Pre-Chorus] You called it loyalty, I called it pain We kept pretending it would change [Chorus] I was ready to be your forever You were stuck in yesterday Holding on to someone hurting us But you just couldn’t walk away And I kept choosing you in pieces While you chose them in between We were almost something perfect But “almost” kills a dream [Bridge] Maybe in another life, you let them go Maybe then our love had room to grow But here we are, and here we break Two hearts bending till they ache [Outro] I was supposed to be your person You were supposed to be my home But you can’t build a future When you’re scared to be alone So I’ll walk away still loving you Even if you never see You didn’t lose just anybody You lost what we could be
