almost, but cute

We could’ve been magic
kinda sweet, kinda right
you were talking like forever
just to mean it for a night

You kissed me like you meant it
had me falling way too fast
but forever started fading
before it even had a chance

We called it love, didn’t we?
or did I just imagine?
I was building something real
you were chasing a reaction

I saw a future in your eyes
you saw a vibe you liked
we were standing in the same place
just a different kind of time

I tried to play it easy
keep my heart in something light
but I was catching feelings
you were catching every high

And I hate how good it felt
every time you said my name
’cause now I see it clearly
I was just your little phase

So tell me, was it really love
or just a moment dressed as one?
did you mean it when you said it
or just say it for the fun?

I was already choosing you
like it’s something I don’t undo
and you were only choosing me
when it felt convenient to

We were almost, almost perfect
almost everything I want
but almost turns to nothing
when it’s over just that fast

Was it real or just instant?
something pretty, something quick
I was holding onto forever
you were letting go of it

I’m too cute to be your maybe
and too real for in-between

So I’ll take back all my “forevers”
you can keep your in-between
I’m done chasing something fleeting
you were never what I need

Yeah we were almost
but I’m over almost love
if it disappears that easy
then it never was enough

Yeah we were almost
but I’m over almost love
I want something real and pretty
not just pretty when it’s fun
