Almost Yours

“Almost Yours” Verse 1 You don’t touch me, but I feel it Like a bruise beneath my skin Every silence has a meaning Every glance is a confession You say it’s just the way we are But your voice drops when it’s dark And I pretend I don’t notice How your breathing falls apart Pre-Chorus We’re too careful with our hands But reckless with our eyes If this is innocent Then why does it feel like a crime? Chorus I don’t wanna want you like this Like a secret on my lips Like a fire I can’t explain But I crave the burn again If we cross it, we might break If we don’t, it’s just the same Tell me why it feels so wrong When being without you feels worse I’m almost yours And that’s the part that hurts ⸻ Verse 2 You laugh it off, say “we’re just close” Like that’s something we control But your fingers linger longer When you think I won’t know There’s a war inside your chest And it echoes into mine We’re pretending we’re not falling While we’re standing on the line Pre-Chorus If this is nothing, let me go Why are we shaking slow? Why does your name Sound different when I’m alone? Chorus I don’t wanna want you like this Like I’m drowning in a kiss That we haven’t even had But it’s driving me mad If we stay, we’ll have to face Everything we’re scared to say Tell me why it feels so wrong When being without you feels worse I’m almost yours And I don’t know what that’s worth ⸻ Bridge Maybe we’re just cowards Maybe we’re just scared Maybe we both feel it And neither of us dares If you said my name right now Like you mean it when it’s late I would fall without a sound I would let you decide my fate ⸻ Final Chorus I don’t wanna want you like this But I love the way it twists Every nerve inside my chest Every almost we suppress If this ends before it starts Will it haunt our quiet hearts? Tell me why it feels so wrong When being without you feels worse I’m almost yours And that’s what makes it hurt
