Lyrics
Still got your letter in a drawer I never open,
Yellowed edges, every word unspoken.
I thought you’d be the one to stay,
But life don’t care what hearts betray.
Every night since, I’ve poured a glass,
Talked to ghosts that never pass.
Tried moving on with someone new—
But no one ever felt like you.
Almost love, almost mine, almost real,
But never enough to truly feel.
The years just keep on dragging by,
And I’m still learning how to lie.
Loneliness—it ain’t just pain,
It’s thunder without any rain.
I needed warmth, I needed skin,
But I found the cold, again and again.
Had a few that came in close,
Some kissed sweet, some hurt the most.
But every time I gave a chance,
They’d slip away like circumstance.
I’m not young like I used to be,
Time’s a mirror that don’t lie to me.
I still wear this aching pride,
But it’s lonely being the man who tried.
Almost love, always near, never stayed,
Every promise just delayed.
Hands I held, eyes I chased,
Still felt like something was misplaced.
Loneliness—it digs so deep,
Steals your hunger, robs your sleep.
I needed fire, I needed truth,
But all I got was shades of youth.
I gave the best I had to give,
But I forgot how to really live.
Played the part, wore the smile,
But damn, it’s been a lonely while.
I thought by now I’d build a home,
But every road just leads alone…
The man I am, he waits, he bleeds—
But never gets the love he needs.
Almost love… my greatest lie,
Still chasing what I can’t define.
A name that echoes in the dark,
A memory that left its mark.
Loneliness—it’s carved in bone,
It’s knowing you’ll die alone.
I needed someone to call my own…
But all I found… was almost home.
