AlmostSaidIt

Almost Said It - Enlly Blue

We drove through rain in borrowed cars

Shared motel nights beneath the stars

Fixed each other's dreams with thread and glue

You took the long way just to stay near to

We built a life out of small things

Coffee spoons and guitar strings

Laughed when the lights went out downtown

Hearts beating loud but no one made a sound

There were nights I almost told you

Mornings I nearly did

But something 'bout the silence

Felt like love we never hid

We almost said it

But we lived it instead

In all the little moments

In the words we never said

We carried love like a secret flame

Never lost, never tame

We almost said it

But it burned just the same

From empty rooms to neon signs

We held our ground through every climb

Your hand in mine when the world was cold

A quiet bond that never had to be told

There were glances that could have spoken

But we chose not to begin

Maybe silence was the answer

Where a whisper might have been

We almost said it

But we lived it instead

In the late night highways

And the tears we never shed

We walked through fire without a name

No confessions, no one to blame

We almost said it

But it burned just the same

Maybe love don't need a vow

To prove it ever stayed

Maybe not saying it out loud

Was the most honest thing we made

We almost said it

But we breathed it like air

In every shared silence

In every quiet stare

It never needed to be proclaimed

It lit us up, it left its flame

We almost said it

But we loved just the same
