Almost Was Enough (Cover)

[Verse 1] I remember every promise that we made in the dark, Every whisper on the windshield when the rain hit hard. You were reaching for forever, I was holding on to now, And I tried to give you everything my heart would allow. [Pre‑Chorus] But loving me ain’t easy, And you learned that truth too soon. You wanted sunrise certainty, I lived like a half‑lit moon. [Chorus] I couldn’t give you all you wanted, But I swear I gave you what I had. You needed every piece of heaven, I was stuck between the good and bad. You said love should feel like lightning, I was only sparks and gentle touch. Baby, maybe you were right But I hoped that almost was enough. [Verse 2] You kept waiting for a moment that would change who I’d become, But I’m stubborn as a memory and I break instead of run. You deserved a man who’d meet you where your dreams begin, Not someone fighting shadows he keeps buried deep within. [Pre‑Chorus] And I know you tried to save me, But I never asked you to. You wanted all my heart forever, I could only give it halfway to you. [Chorus] I couldn’t give you all you wanted, But I swear I gave you what I had. You needed every piece of heaven, I was stuck between the good and bad. You said love should feel like lightning, I was only sparks and gentle touch. Baby, maybe you were right But I hoped that almost was enough. [Bridge] If loving me was heartbreak, I never meant to make you bleed. You were reaching out for miracles, I was praying you’d take me as I’d be. [Final Chorus] I couldn’t give you all you wanted, But I swear I gave you what I had. You needed every piece of heaven, I was tangled in the life I’ve had. You said love should feel like lightning, I was only sparks and gentle touch. Baby, maybe you were right But I hoped that almost was enough.
