Lyrics"Almost Was"Yves Stilmant © 2025 [Verse 1] We sat on the roof with our sneakers untied Laughin' too loud, just tryin' to feel alive You said the stars looked better next to me I believed in forever at seventeen You hummed a song that I never knew But now it plays when I think of you [Pre-Chorus] I was your secret, you were my song Felt like the place where I belonged [Chorus] We were almost magic, almost real Almost knew what love could feel Held my breath when you looked my way Thought you might be the one someday But "almost" breaks a heart in two And I still miss the almost you [Verse 2] We carved our names on that old oak tree You said, "Don't forget you belong with me" We kissed in the dark, afraid to be seen Tangled in words like a movie scene But seasons change like teenage minds And promises fade when you run out of time [Pre-Chorus] You were the dream I couldn't keep Now you're just a song I sing to sleep [Chorus] We were almost magic, almost real Almost knew what love could feel Held my breath when you looked my way Thought you might be the one someday But "almost" breaks a heart in two And I still miss the almost you [Bridge] It's funny how a maybe Can haunt you like a ghost How something that was never Can still hurt you the most We didn't get a storybook end But I still play pretend [Final Chorus] We were almost perfect, almost right Almost made it through the night Held my breath like dreams come true Thought I found forever in you But "almost" burns like summer blue And I still miss the almost you [Outro] Still miss the almost... The almost you |
