Almost Forever

Verse 1 You walked in like summer rain Soft and warm, washed off my pain Said my name like it was gold Held my hands like you’d never let go We were sparks in the dark Writing wishes on our hearts Every promise felt so right Dancing slow in kitchen light Pre-Chorus You said, “Forever’s not that far” I believed you like a fool believes a star Chorus We were almost forever Almost fire in the cold Almost two hearts together Almost growing old We were almost a story They’d tell in black and white But “almost” turned to silence Somewhere in the night Verse 2 Your kisses started feeling thin Like you were somewhere else, not in Every “I love you” you said Felt rehearsed inside my head I watched your suitcase by the door Heard your footsteps on the floor You didn’t fight, you didn’t stay You just slowly slipped away Pre-Chorus You said, “It’s not you, it’s just life” Guess forever had an end in sight Chorus We were almost forever Almost more than just a flame Almost stormy weather Almost taking my last name We were almost a story That time could never sever Now you’re someone I remember And I’m left with almost forever Bridge (the twist) I still sleep on your side of the bed Still replay every word you said You swore that love like ours won’t die So tell me why it was goodbye Maybe love was just pretend Or maybe I just loved you more than you did Final Chorus (broken) We were almost forever Almost strong enough to fight Almost meant to be together Almost worth the nights We were almost everything I thought I’d ever need But “almost” doesn’t hold you When your heart still bleeds Outro (soft) You were almost my always I was almost your home Now I’m learning how to love Being almost alone
