Almost Had You

Remember when you said you'd play me a song?

That was before I messed up,

Before it all went wrong,

and I had another reason to fill up my cup.


Told you that I'd never fall in love,

Knew it was a lie from the start.

I almost had you but that wasn't enough.

Not enough that you stole my heart.


But I love you, and it frustrates me. 

What do I have to do to make you mine?

What can I do to make you see,

That if I had you, we could leave the world behind.


Walk away, hand in hand.

Tell the world to fuck off.

I just want you to understand,

I love you and I'll never stop.


Not even if I try to drink it all away.

I almost had you,

But you don't feel the same.

And we'd never make it through.


You'd never love the real me.

But I could never let you walk away.

I almost had you, it wasn't meant to be. 

But I guess that's okay.


Just know you've always had my heart,

Caught me when I'd begun to fall.

Letting go's the hardest part,

Hardest part of it all.


Because I almost had you.
