I was almost gone
Lyrics
"I Was Almost Gone"
By Yves Stilmant © 2025
[Verse 1A]
Had my bag packed by the door
Wrote one last song, not one note more
No plans to stay, no heart to give
I'd had enough -- just had to live
[Verse 1B]
Said goodbye to the neon nights
Burned-out bars and blurry lights
Swore I'd never fall again
But that was right before you walked in
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn't ask me to explain
You just smiled -- and it all changed
[Chorus]
I was almost gone
Almost done
Then you lit the dark
Like a rising sun
I was almost gone
Halfway through
But your voice said stay
And my heart knew
I was almost gone
Then I found you

[Verse 2A]
You didn't rush, you didn't push
You just saw me through the hush
I wasn't lookin', wasn't tryin'
But you felt real, not like I was lyin'
[Verse 2B]
You talked soft, and I sat still
Something in me turned so real
The road I'd mapped just blew apart
But for the first time, I felt my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn't ask me to believe
But you became the air I breathe
[Chorus - repeat same]

[Bridge]
I'd said goodbye to everything
But I didn't know what fate would bring
You weren't part of the escape plan
But now I'm yours -- and here I stand

[Final Chorus - Build & Repeat]
I was almost gone
Almost done
You lit the dark
Like a rising sun
I was almost gone
Halfway through
But your voice said stay
And my heart knew
I was almost gone
Then I found you
