I saw you reading by the window
Sunday morning, hair undone
Something in the way you held that book
Made me forget what I was running from
And I'm standing here
On the edge of something real
But I can't make myself move
I'm almost there, almost brave enough
To tell you how I feel inside
Almost there, almost strong enough
To stop pretending I'm fine
But almost never gets you anywhere
Almost never gets you anywhere at all
We walk these streets like we're just friends
You laugh at things I barely said
I memorize the way you look at me
When you think I'm not paying attention instead
And I'm standing here
With these words stuck in my throat
But I can't make them come out
I'm almost there, almost brave enough
To tell you how I feel inside
Almost there, almost strong enough
To stop pretending I'm fine
But almost never gets you anywhere
Almost never gets you anywhere at all
Maybe tomorrow I'll find the nerve
Maybe tomorrow I'll say the words
That have been living in my chest
Like birds that forgot how to fly
I'm almost there, almost brave enough
To tell you how I feel inside
Almost there, almost strong enough
To let these walls come down
But almost never gets you anywhere
Almost never gets you anywhere
Almost never gets you anywhere at all
I saw you reading by the window
And I almost said hello
