Verse 1 For a moment in my lifetime I felt something I can’t explain Like my heart finally knew its language Like love had finally said my name You were older, you were taken I was young but I felt so sure In your presence I found a shelter A quiet place, a steady door Pre-Chorus Years went by, we never crossed the line But everything inside already had When the world grew loud, you were my silence When I was lost, you held me back Chorus We were almost everything Almost fire, almost flame A love so strong it scared the future A heart that never learned your name We were almost meant to be But “almost” is where we stayed I still feel the burn inside me From the love that never lived From the love that never lived Verse 2 Every room would fade to nothing When your eyes were meeting mine We worked like we were breathing Two souls moving in the same time We laughed like we were one heartbeat Like we knew without a sound But wanting you was slowly killing me So I left that town Pre-Chorus We both knew what we were denying We both knew what we couldn’t claim So I chose the ache of leaving Over watching us stay the same Chorus We were almost everything Almost fire, almost flame A love so deep it had no ending A story never got a name We were almost meant to be But “almost” broke my faith I still feel you in the silence From the love that never lived Bridge Do you wonder how I am now? Do you ever say my name? Do you think about the life That we never dared to claim? I’ve loved before, I’ve loved again But nothing ever felt that true No one else has felt like home The way I always felt with you Final Chorus We were almost everything Almost forever, almost real A love too pure to be forgiven A wound time never learned to heal We were almost meant to be And that’s the hardest truth to live I carry you inside my heart Like the love that never lived Outro If there’s another life somewhere Where we were brave, where we were free I hope you found the love you needed Even if it never was with me
