Almost Said It [Verse 1] I see you walking down the hallway, And suddenly I lose my words. I've practiced what I wanna tell you, But when you're near, it all gets blurred. You smile at me, I look away, Pretending that I'm doing fine. But every little thing you say Keeps running circles through my mind. [Pre-Chorus] I take a breath, I count to three, I tell myself, “Just let it out.” Then you look right back at me, And all my courage disappears somehow. [Chorus] I almost said it, almost told you, Everything I've kept inside. I almost said it, but I froze there, With a thousand words I couldn't find. Maybe I'm scared you'll say you don't feel the same, Maybe I'm scared I'll change everything. So I keep hiding behind these words: “I almost said it.” [Verse 2] Sometimes you come and talk to me, And for a moment I feel brave. I wonder if you notice All the feelings that I hide away. My friends keep saying, “Tell her now,” But they don't know what's in my head. What if I say what I've been feeling And everything we have is gone instead? [Pre-Chorus] So I take a breath, I count to three, But once again I turn away. I wish my heart could speak for me, 'Cause I don't know what I should say. [Chorus] I almost said it, almost told you, Everything I've kept inside. I almost said it, but I froze there, With a thousand words I couldn't find. Maybe I'm scared you'll say you don't feel the same, Maybe I'm scared I'll change everything. So I keep hiding behind these words: “I almost said it.” [Bridge] Maybe someday I'll find the courage, Maybe someday I'll let you know. 'Cause I'd rather face the answer Than spend forever wondering so. If you don't feel the way I do, I'll understand, I'll let it be. But at least you'll finally know What you've always meant to me. [Final Chorus] I won't almost say it this time, I won't let the moment pass. I'll tell you what's been on my mind, Even if my voice shakes when I ask. Maybe you'll smile, maybe you'll walk away, But at least I won't be hiding anymore. 'Cause I've been scared of losing you, But I'm more scared of never knowing. [Outro] So here I am, standing in front of you... And this time, I'm not turning away. Shawn mendes style
