Almost was us

[Verse 1] I used to wonder how love's supposed to feel Didn’t know myself, didn’t know what’s real Then you caught my eye, you made me feel alive Took your hand for something small, just to feel you by my side [Pre-Chorus] You were my favorite game, the way you’d laugh at me But deep inside, I hoped you'd never leave And when you said you liked me too I froze, ‘cause I was falling for you [Chorus] But I never took the leap, just watched from far away Said the words in jest, but meant them every day You waited while I hesitated, scared of what could be Too many reasons held me back from setting my heart free Almost was us, but almost is never enough [Verse 2] We stayed friends, but the feelings never died I memorized your steps, just to catch your smile Joking "I still like you", you’d still reply the same But I never had the courage to call it by its name [Pre-Chorus] One quiet night, I asked for a sign And when it came, I crossed the line I told you everything through shaking hands and screen You said you’d confess if I hadn’t said a thing [Chorus] But after everythingI never took the leap, just drifted out of view I let the silence grow between me and you You stayed, but I made you wait too long And now you're in the arms where you belong Almost was us, but almost is never enough [Bridge] I saw you with him, and you looked so free Like love is simple when it’s meant to be I hope he walks you home, brings you peace inside Does all the things I couldn't give [Final Chorus] ‘Cause I never took the leap, too scared to fall You deserved someone who would give their all Now I’m here with all the love I never showed You were the one, but I let you go Almost was love... and you'll never know
