Almost Said It

Caught in the silence, you're right there next to me,
But there's a thousand miles in between what we mean.
I try to reach out, but I get in my way,
Thoughts that I don't say start to feel like mistakes.

And you look at me like you're waiting for something,
But I just laugh, turn it into nothing.
I'm holding back words, afraid they'll fall apart,
So I keep hiding pieces of my heart.

I almost said it, almost let you see,
What's buried in the quiet parts of me.
I almost meant it, when I held you tight,
But the words got lost somewhere between wrong and right.
I almost said it, almost said it...

Counting the seconds when you're not around,
Trying to find the courage, but it's dragging me down.
I replay the moments when I could've told you,
But now they're just shadows of things I can't undo.

And you look at me with that patient smile,
Like you know I'm running scared for miles.
But the walls are up, and I don't know how
To let you in or break them down.

I almost said it, almost let you see,
What's buried in the quiet parts of me.
I almost meant it, when I held you tight,
But the words got lost somewhere between wrong and right.
I almost said it, almost said it...

Maybe I'll find the words someday,
But I'm terrified that you'll slip away.
I don't know how to make you understand,
When all I have are empty hands.

I almost said it, almost let you see,
What's buried in the quiet parts of me.
I almost meant it, when I held you tight,
But the words got lost somewhere between wrong and right.
I almost said it, almost said it...

Now I'm standing here, too late to speak,
Watching you walk away from me.
Guess I'll carry these words alone in my head,
The things I almost said, the things I almost said.
