We Were Almost Forever by Sin and Shine
We Were Almost Forever
Verse 1 (Female)
The dress is still hanging at my mama’s place
Tags still on it, lace turned gray
I tried to give it away last fall
But I couldn’t watch it leave the wall
Verse 2 (Male)
I kept the ring in a coffee tin
Right where all my doubts were in
I meant to be brave, I meant to stay
But fear don’t warn you, it just sways
Pre-Chorus (Female)
We picked out names, we picked a date
Pre-Chorus (Male)
We picked the wrong way to hesitate
Chorus (Together)
We were almost forever
Almost vows, almost home
Almost didn’t know how close we were
To everything we’d known
We were almost forever
Now we’re just sometimes when
Almost hurts more than never did
‘Cause we touched it, then it ended
Verse 3 (Male)
That house on Maple still stands tall
Same white fence, same for-sale sign calls
I drive by slow like maybe you’ll be there
Like maybe time just stopped caring
Verse 4 (Female)
I hear your voice in quiet rooms
Like you’re running late, like you’ll be soon
I still reach left in my sleep some nights
Like you’re still supposed to be mine
Pre-Chorus (Male)
We weren’t wrong, just scared
Pre-Chorus (Female)
Love asked more than we dared
Chorus (Together)
We were almost forever
Almost rings, almost kids
Almost learning how to fight fair
Almost forgiving what we did
We were almost forever
Now it’s ashes and then
Almost hurts more than never did
‘Cause we saw it… then it ended
Bridge (Duet – broken lines)
If I’d known that last kiss was the last
I’d have held on longer than I had
Would we be stronger or just worn thin?
I don’t know… but I’d choose you again
If almost could turn into again
Final Chorus (Together)
We were almost forever
Almost right till we weren’t
Almost love that burned too bright
Almost learned how not to burn
We were almost forever
Now we’re “what if” when
Almost hurts more than never did
And that’s the truth we’re left with
Outro
I don’t miss the ending
I just miss the plan
We were almost forever…
God, we almost were
