Almost Us - Aong Smile

We had our own little corner table, A place where everybody knew our names, You'd steal my fries, I'd wear your sweater, We laughed like fire, danced in the rain. Every Friday turned into forever, Every goodbye felt harder than before, You held my hand when crossing over, But never called it something more. [Pre-Chorus] We were close enough to dream, Far enough to fall apart, Living in the space between, Two strangers and two hearts. [Chorus] We were almost us, Almost love, Almost everything I wanted. Late-night calls, Empty roads, Every sign said we belonged here. But you never said the words, And I never pushed enough. Now I'm trying to get over Someone who was never really mine. How do I move on From an almost us? [Verse 2] I still know how you take your coffee, Two sugars when you've had no sleep, I know the songs that make you smile, The promises you'd never keep. Funny how I know your story, Every scar and every fear, Yet when somebody asks about you, I don't know what to call you here. [Pre-Chorus] We were standing at the door, Neither leaving, neither staying, Holding onto something beautiful, Without ever really saying. [Chorus] We were almost us, Almost love, Almost everything I needed. Movie nights, City lights, Looking back, I still can't beat it. But you never drew the line, And I never asked you why. Now I'm learning how to miss you Without the right to cry. How do I move on From an almost us? [Bridge] And that's the hardest part, There was no goodbye, No final broken promise, No reason, no lie. Just two people Who felt something real, But left it unnamed Until it disappeared. Maybe if we tried, Maybe if we fought, Maybe if one of us Had said what we thought. Maybe we'd be memories Worth holding onto, Instead of being The greatest "almost" I ever knew. [Final Chorus] We were almost us, Almost home, Almost the life I could have had. You were the reason For my best days, And somehow also why they're sad. 'Cause we looked like love, Felt like love, Talked like love so much. But the saddest kind of heartbreak Is the one that never was. Now every time I hear your name, I smile before it hurts. Still wondering if you miss me, Still replaying every word. We were almost us, Almost enough, Almost everything, my love. And maybe that's why It's so hard to give you up. [Outro] We can't break up, We can't make up, We can't rewrite what we've become. Just two hearts That got so close... To being one.
