Almost Was

Verse 1 Ooooh, ooooh Saw your figure passing on the street Felt the years collapse beneath my feet We never had a chance, but we had the spark Now you’re just a ghost in the corner of my heart Chorus You’re the love that almost was A ghost I carry just because We burned so bright, but not enough You’re the love that almost was Verse 2 Yeah—mmm, ohhh I drive past the places we never went Think about the words I never said We could’ve been a story written in gold But the pages turned before it could unfold Chorus You’re the love that almost was A ghost I carry just because We burned so bright, but not enough You’re the love that almost was Bridge Ahhh—ohhh (low, rising) In another time, in another skin Maybe we’d be who we should’ve been But we’re just ghosts, nothing to prove Haunted by the things we couldn’t choose Final Chorus / Outro You’re the love that almost was A ghost I carry just because We burned so bright, but not enough You’re the love that almost was Ooooh, ooooh yeah—ohhh You’re the love that almost was
