Almost Mine
Mid-tempo contemporary R&B at 94 BPM in a minor key with smooth, expressive female vocals. Prominent clean electric guitar playing melodic riffs and soft rhythmic plucks with light reverb and subtle delay, warm deep bassline with glide, crisp rim-shot snare and tight punchy kick, gentle hi-hat bounce with occasional syncopated patterns. Ambient pads filling the background, minimal keys supporting the chords, intimate verses with space and breath, fuller chorus with layered harmonies and stacked background vocals. Moody late-night atmosphere, sensual but restrained energy, polished modern mix with guitar as the emotional lead instrument

Lyrics
You say you like me
But you move too free
Like I’m just someone you call when you can’t sleep
You pull me closer
Then you disappear
I see the pattern crystal clear
You hold my hand
Like I’m your girl
But I’m not the only one in your world
I’m not confused
I’m not blind
I’m just not claiming what’s almost mine
Almost mine
That’s what you are
Close enough to touch
But never where you are
Almost mine
You play the part
But I don’t want half love
Or half a heart
You say you’re trying
You say give time
But love don’t show up part-time
I don’t compete
I don’t chase
If I feel doubt I create space
You kiss my neck
Say stay the night
But you won’t say it in daylight
I’m not confused
I’m not blind
I’m just not claiming what’s almost mine
Almost mine
That’s what you are
Close enough to touch
But never where you are
Almost mine
Feels so good
But I won’t settle
When I know I should
If you want me
Be sure
If you don’t
Walk out the door
I don’t do maybe
I don’t do in between
I deserve something steady
Something clean
Almost mine
I’m letting go
If you can’t choose
I already know
