Always Almost

(album: Golden Age - 2022)

I notice red flags and stop signs before I see green lights
I try to slow down and think twice when it's alright
Finding new reasons it won't ever work
Avoiding the hurt so I always leave first
I never get past the start cause I break my own heart every time

It's always almost
Always getting so close
I always have so much I wanna say
But I don't
It's always my fault
I never get to fall in love
By the time that I get brave enough
I miss out and it's too late for us
Could've been, should've been something good
But I guess we'll never know

I do my best to pretend that we're friends and nothing else
I don't wanna be selfish so I hold back
Cause you look so happy with her on your shoulder
Baby we'll try this again when we're older
Promise I'll be right there when it's over
But right now

It's always almost
Always getting so close
I always have so much I wanna say
But I don't
It's always my fault
I never get to fall in love
By the time that I get brave enough
I miss out and it's too late for us
Could've been, should've been something good
But I guess we'll never know

It's always

I'll always hold out for us
Hope that some day it's enough
You'll always be the one that got away

It's always almost
Always getting so close
I always have so much I wanna say
But I don't
It's always my fault
I never get to fall in love
By the time that I get brave enough
I miss out and it's too late for us
Could've been, should've been something good
But I guess we'll never know

I'll always hold out for us
Hope that some day it's enough
You'll always be the one that got away
