So Close - Aliza
We almost made it
Your toothbrush still by the sink
Lipstick stain on your glass
I blink and you're back again
Your name on my phone staring
But I don't press send
Talking to empty rooms
Like you're just late again
We were so close
Like your breath on my shoulder
I could taste forever
Right there on your tongue
We were so close
Now the bed feels colder
How did something that certain
Come so undone
We were so close
So close
To being the one
Your shoes in the hall, we won't lay still, tied to mine
I trip on the memories, nearly fall every time
Friends try to save me, pull me out for a while
But every unfamiliar face just wears your smile
We were so close
Like your breath on my shoulder
I could taste forever
Right there on your tongue
We were so close
Now the bed feels colder
How did something that certain
Come so undone
We were so close
So close
To being the one
Did you feel it slipping
Or did it drop in a day
Were you holding our future
The moment you walked away
If I held you a little harder
Would we still be here now
Or were we always breaking
Just slow, somehow
We were so close
Like your breath on my shoulder
I could taste forever
Right there on your tongue
We were so close
Now the bed feels colder
How did something that certain
Come so undone
We were so close
So close
To being the one
Your name in a whisper
Fades into the air
I reach for your shadow
But you're not there
We were so close
Echoes in this room
I lie here wide awake
Still making space
For you
