[Verse 1]

If almost was enough

I would've never given up on us

What is love?

Look, I could answer that so truthfully

Refer to definition, all I see is you and me

Lately, I've been writing pain away

Searching, sifting through some scrutiny

This gift and this curse

I fell victim to this foolery

Meaning written in the stars

Speaking only through past tense

But it all makes sense

Are we staring at the same moon?

Gazing at those same clouds?

This world just isn't big enough

How could I ever letcha down?

Gave up everything I wanted just to keep what I needed

The irony in that is that so much I couldn't see it

So focused on what was to come

I couldn't find the time to be it

Too much became deleted

Couldn't find a rhyme or reason

Misled my head, with this lead

Yet I kept on putting up the pieces

Only one who could ever leave me speechless


[Verse 2]

If almost was enough

I would've never found forever

Could've left myself behind

Like I never knew better

Weathered through the storm

Then came out with new letters

Scribbled on the pages

Penning chapter after chapter

Like I was writing novella

I'm wiser and I've risen

Fought through with ambition

As I filled more composition

Hoping and wishing

Never thought about quitting

When I got to this position

Mind made up and there is no going back

Only one besides myself

Who could keep me on track

But that's beyond my control

In fact, I thank him for that

Uh, it's bigger than us

Now that's real rap

Fully tapped into my mental for potential

Realized it's too simple

Ample time to waste

How could I ever be resentful?

A regret that I regret

Don't take that outta context

So weary of my very next steps

Almost ran outta breath


[Verse 3]

Just a three hour flight, then a four hour drive

For the rest of my life

Rulez hit me with a move

I gained a little insight

It was supposed to be perfect

Was supposed to be right

Instead, the loneliest nights

Forget supposedly like

Knew who I was there for

Only one who could subtract the 4

Then KO'd all the -KM

Almost there, but was a little too late then

If almost was enough

I wouldn't have the words for saying

Clearly mistaken, now I'm sitting overthinking

Contemplating as of lately

I can't lie to myself

Yet it's too easy to do

Doesn't matter where I look

All I see is you

I guess I'll never get over

I'll just learn to grow through

I am who I am and you are beautiful you

Know I'll love you forever

All I can do is stay true

My heart is yours, your happiness is mine

Know that doesn't make sense

But everything takes time

First time in my life, I feel fully myself

Given everything to you

'Cause there is nobody else

If you heard you like I hear you

I could use a little help

I was dying to be near you

Now you have someone else

All this pain that I've felt

Somehow inflicted on myself

Never deserved your love

But too late for that melt

Yet everything I've been dealt

Came from God himself

And I fell...
