"almost wasn't enough" april 27 2022 (partia credit to reputaylorsversion )

verse 1
you're out on the town
with my replacement
i guess we couldn't turn this around
is it all to make a statement?
that you never really loved me
it was never really just me
wasn't your only lovely
you left my hands bloody

chorus
we had the whole world in our fingertips
and almost touched the stars
but almost wasn't enough to make you stay
and we knew all the secrets
and i almost held your heart
but almost wasn't enough to make you stay

verse 2
do you ever think about me
when you're lying in her bed?
bet you remember me
when she leaves you on read (alt line: "when she's giving you head" but im a minor so)
you know she's only temporary
eventually she'll be another heart in your cemetery

chorus
we had the whole world in our fingertips
and almost touched the stars
but almost wasn't enough to make you stay
and we knew all the secrets
and i almost held your heart
but almost wasn't enough to make you stay

bridge
i know you're reckless
and you're just restless
but you long for someone who'll stay
what a shame you let her get away
so you'll go home every night
wondering why nothing feels right
and drink your pain away
but you had me in your grasp
why did you let me slip away?
you had me in your grasp

chorus
we had the whole world in our fingertips
and almost touched the stars
but almost wasn't enough to make you stay
and we knew all the secrets
and i almost held your heart
but almost wasn't enough to make you stay
