Almost Ours

Title: “Almost Ours” [Verse 1] We lit a flame that burned like July No label, but it felt so right Talked like lovers in the dark You held my heart with half a spark I said “I get it” every time When you went quiet, I played blind But I was breaking, piece by piece And I mistook the noise for peace [Pre-Chorus] I thought I healed, I thought I could But love ain’t love if it’s misunderstood Maybe we were too good at pretending That we weren’t slowly ending [Chorus] I’m sorry for the part I played For loving you while still afraid For thinking I could leave the past When I was just moving too fast We weren’t wrong, just not aligned Two hearts caught up in borrowed time We were close, we had the stars But we were never really ours [Verse 2] You got too sure that I’d stay Even when you drifted far away I held it down, I held my breath Hoping you’d come back, I guessed But I was lost behind the smile Still haunted by a love on trial And you were sure I’d never break But every heart has its own weight [Pre-Chorus] Maybe we rushed, maybe we paused Maybe it’s nobody’s fault at all Still I owe you more than silence So here’s my truth, no more hiding [Chorus] I’m sorry for the part I played For loving you while still afraid For thinking I could leave the past When I was just moving too fast We weren’t wrong, just not aligned Two hearts caught up in borrowed time We were close, we had the stars But we were never really ours [Bridge] If I distracted my own ache That’s on me, that’s my mistake If you thought I’d never fold Guess I was too good at being cold But I still wish you the best kind of days With someone who loves you in every way We may not get another start But you’ll always hold a part [Final Chorus] I’m sorry for the part I played For every word I didn’t say For loving you while torn in two Still hoping you would see it through We weren’t wrong, just not aligned Two hearts caught in borrowed time We were close, we had the stars But we were never really ours
