Almost Real By Cordelia Cross Lyrics

Almost Real By Cordelia Cross Lyrics

 

[Verse 1]

You lived behind a glass and glow

A name I typed but couldn’t hold

You told me love could find a way

But distance ate what we became

I memorized the sound of you

Built forever out of something new

We never touched, but I still bled

From every word we never said

 

[Chorus]

You were almost real, almost mine

A half-built hope we left behind

I gave my heart through borrowed screens

Now I'm alone with shattered dreams

You never held me, but I feel

Everything we had was almost real

 

[Verse 2]

I waited months like counting scars

Spoke to the silence like it was ours

You said, “someday” — I said, “me too”

But someday never came for you

You faded slow, not torn away

Just less of you with every day

And though we touched with every call

We never stood, we had to fall

 

[Chorus]

You were almost real, almost mine

A promise blurred by borderlines

I gave you nights you’ll never see

You took the best and left the grief

We never met, but still I feel

The love we lost was almost real
