Almost Said It Lyrics

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
