Almost Made It

We were close, but not enough
Built a house, but love got tough
Thought we’d last through every fight
But some dreams die before they’re right

We danced on cracks, ignored the signs
Held hands on borrowed time
Still I hoped you’d turn around
But all I heard was goodbye’s sound

We almost made it, broke the line
Built forever in our minds
Now it's ashes in the air
Of a love that wasn’t fair

I see our photos on my feed
Like ghosts I didn’t want to see
They show a smile that didn’t last
And now we’re buried in the past

We touched the stars, then fell apart
Now I’m just nursing a broken heart
Wish I could hold you one more time
But fate had drawn a different line

We almost made it, broke the line
Built forever in our minds
Now it's ashes in the air
Of a love that wasn’t fair
