[Verse 1]
We were sitting on your rooftop,
Laughin’ like we had no clock
Midnight breeze in your hair,
I was tryin’ not to stare
You leaned in just a little bit,
Said, “This feels like somethin’, doesn’t it?”
I smiled, but I bit my tongue
Should’ve said what I had begun
[Pre-Chorus]
You looked at me, eyes full of hope
But I froze in that moment, choked
Now I replay it on repeat
The words I never set free
[Chorus]
I almost said it, almost let it go
That four-letter word you were dying to know
But I held back, scared it was too soon
Now you're gone and I’m stuck with the truth
Yeah, I almost said it, but almost won’t do
[Verse 2]
Now your light's not in my phone
You're someone I used to know
And I swear I see your ghost
Everywhere I go the most
[Pre-Chorus]
My silence was louder than I meant
And now I drown in what I never sent
[Chorus]
I almost said it, almost let it go
That four-letter word you were dying to know
But I held back, scared it was too soon
Now you're gone and I’m stuck with the truth
Yeah, I almost said it, but almost won’t do
[Solo]
[The melody blends smooth synths with a strong bass line]
[Bridge]
Wish I had the nerve, wish I took the leap
Now it’s just me and these secrets I keep
If I could rewind one night, one kiss
I’d say every word I missed
[Final Chorus]
I should’ve said it, should’ve let it show
That four-letter word you deserved to know
I let fear win, I let love lose
Now I’m here with nothing to prove
Yeah, I should’ve said it… now it’s too late too
