I had the words right on my tongue
Then I swallowed them like I always do
You asked me what I wanted, love
And I joked like it wasn’t you
Do you ever hate your pride
’Cause it keeps you looking steady
I’m good at acting unbothered
Bad at saying I’m not ready
I keep turning it to nothing
So it doesn’t sound too deep
But the things I never say
Are the ones that never leave
I almost said it
But I let it fade again
In the space we’re in
I almost said it
If you’re walking out for good
Let me say it then
You move like you’ve made up your mind
Like the ending fits you better
And I’m stuck in the in-between
Holding on to tiny letters
Do you ever feel your heart
Try to run, then hit a wall
I keep waiting for a moment
That never comes at all
If you’re gone, I’ll live with it
Just don’t make it sound like fate
I don’t need a perfect exit
I just need it not too late
I almost said it
But I let it fade again
In the space we’re in
I almost said it
If you’re walking out for good
Let me say it then
Maybe I’m not built for clean endings
Maybe I need one last line
Not to change your mind—
Just to stop losing mine
I almost said it
But I let it fade again
In the space we’re in
I almost said it
If you’re walking out for good
Let me say it then
Let me say it without panic
Let it land without a fight
I almost said it—
And I’m tired of being right
If you remember me later,
remember I tried to speak.
