You call me late at night

[Intro – soft acoustic guitar arpeggios, faint piano hum] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – gentle strummed guitar, subtle kick drum] You call me late at night Like I’m the only one you trust Say you’ve never felt like this But feelings aren’t enough [Verse 1 Continued – same instrumentation, slightly warmer vocals] You trace my name in quiet Like you’re scared it might be real You hold me like you mean it Then disappear when I can feel [Pre-Chorus – building piano layers, light shaker] Every time I start believing We could be something true You change the ending Before we make it through [Chorus – full band swell, layered vocals, steady snare] We’re always almost something Almost brave enough to stay Almost saying “I love you” But you look away I’m tired of almost falling While you’re halfway out the door If this is all you’re giving I can’t be almost anymore [Verse 2 – stripped back to guitar and piano, intimate vocals] You say you need your freedom But you hate when I pull back You want me independent Just not strong enough to pack [Verse 2 Continued – same instrumentation, growing vulnerability] I study every silence Like it’s poetry or truth But maybe it’s just empty And I’m romanticizing you [Pre-Chorus 2 – added string pads, rising vocal intensity] I keep trying to fix What you won’t even name I’m fighting for a future You’re too scared to claim [Chorus 2 – fuller band, harmonies on the final line] We’re always almost something Almost good enough to last Almost building memories That fade into the past I’m tired of almost choosing Someone scared of wanting more If this is where we’re standing I can’t be almost anymore [Bridge – stripped to piano only, soft breaking vocals] I don’t want a love That whispers in the dark I don’t want to beg For half of someone’s heart [Final Chorus – full orchestral swell, powerful belting vocals] We were almost something But almost doesn’t stay Almost isn’t steady It slowly slips away And I deserve a promise That doesn’t feel unsure So I won’t be your almost Anymore [Outro – fading piano, final guitar strum] (Instrumental Solo)
