Almost Mine

Lyrics

I see you in the quiet, where the silence holds your name
A memory that lingers, but I’ve only me to blame
You gave your light so freely, and I wore it like a crown
But I let the darkness in, and now it’s dragging me down

If I could turn the clocks, rewrite the lines I crossed
Undo the lies, the nights, the love I lost

You were the fire I couldn’t hold
The kind of love that burns too bold
And I was reckless with your heart
Tore our heaven right apart
Now you're laughing in some other life
While I ache through every night
You were the dream I let slip by
You were almost mine

I still hear your voice like a song I can’t forget
Playing through the echoes of my shame and my regret
You were steady, you were golden, and I was spinning wild
Too afraid to need you, too proud to be your child

If sorry could heal scars, I’d say it a thousand times
But words can’t reach across the fault lines

You were the fire I couldn’t hold
The kind of love that burns too bold
And I was reckless with your heart
Tore our heaven right apart
Now you're smiling in some other life
While I bleed through every night
You were the truth I left behind
You were almost mine

Maybe someday you’ll hear this song
Know I knew it all along
You were the one I should have kept
But I loved you wrong, and now I live with that

You were the fire I couldn’t hold
The only warmth I’ll ever know
And I still reach out in my sleep
For a promise I couldn’t keep
Now you’re living in a better rhyme
And I’m stuck inside my crime
You were my once, my fault, my sign
You were almost… mine
