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
