I say I’m good when they ask about you
Like it’s something I outgrew
I learned how to change the subject
Learned how to fake the truth
I keep myself busy lately
Fill the silence with noise
But the minute I’m alone again
I hear your voice
I smile just enough to look okay
I laugh so nobody knows
But healing’s harder in the quiet
When the doors are finally closed
I’m almost fine
Most of the time
If I don’t think too much
If I don’t rewind
I’m almost fine
That’s what I say
But almost isn’t honest
When I still feel this way
I don’t cry like I used to
Guess I learned some control
But holding it together
Doesn’t mean I’m whole
I walk past places we used to go
Like they don’t know my name
But every memory’s waiting
To pull me back again
They think I’ve moved on easy
Like love just fades away
But nobody sees the damage
I cover every day
I’m almost fine
Yeah, I survive
I get through the nights
I stay alive
I’m almost fine
But not tonight
‘Cause almost is just
A prettier lie
Maybe one day
I won’t need to pretend
Maybe this “almost”
Will finally end
But right now
I’m learning how
To breathe between
The cracks somehow
I’m almost fine
Yeah, I survive
I get through the nights
I stay alive
I’m almost fine
But not tonight
‘Cause almost is just
A prettier lie
I’m almost fine
But not there yet
I’ve learned how to smile
I haven’t learned how to forget
I’m almost fine
Just give me time
I’m closer than I was before
But not past the line
Almost strong
Almost through
Almost healed
Almost you
