From the recording Almost Said It
Lyrics
I kept your sweater in the backseat
Didn't wanna wash away the last week
Your perfume still livin in the fabric
Funny how the smallest things turn tragic
You said you needed time to clear your head
But I've been talkin to your ghost instead
Tryna make it through these quiet rooms
Where everything just echoes you
I swear I almost called tonight
Just to hear you breathe and feel alive
I almost said it
Told you that I'm breakin
Told you that my chest still burns
Every time your name hits
I almost meant it
When I swore I'd forget it
But you're the kind of hurt that stays
No matter how I frame it
Yeah I almost said it
But almost is all I'm left with
Your friends still ask me how I've been
I lie and say I'm good again
'Cause tellin them the truth feels like
Admitting that I'm dead inside
The places that we used to go
Don't feel the same when I'm alone
I sit there tryna drink you out
But memories don't drown they shout
I swear I almost called tonight
Just to see your name light up my life
I almost said it
Told you that I'm breakin
Told you that my chest still burns
Every time your name hits
I almost meant it
When I swore I'd forget it
But you're the kind of hurt that stays
No matter how I frame it
Yeah I almost said it
But almost is all I'm left with
I keep writin you in every line
Hopin maybe you'll come back this time
But I know better than to chase
A ghost that wears your face
I almost said it
Told you that I'm breakin
Told you that my heart still hits the floor
Every time your name is
I almost meant it
When I swore I'd end it
But love like this don't fade away
Even when I pretend it
Yeah I almost said it
Guess almost is all I'm left with
