Goodbye to the Almost

[Verse 1]
I kept your old address folded in a book
A name I almost called, a road I never took
Some loves were only doorways in my mind
I held them like they’d turn around in time

[Pre-Chorus]
But you can’t walk beside me
If I’m facing where you’ve been

[Chorus]
Goodbye to the almost, goodbye to the gone
I’m done asking ghosts to tell me where I belong
I let the past pass through, I let my hands come free
The love I was waiting for starts here with me

[Verse 2]
I grieve the little life that never had a start
The letters left unwritten, the unchosen part
I thank those faded faces for the ways they led
Then set their names down gently in my head

[Breakdown]
No more turning back
No more living half a life
I can miss what might have been
And still choose mine

[Final Chorus]
Goodbye to the almost, goodbye to the gone
I’m done asking ghosts to tell me where I belong
I let the past pass through, I let my hands come free
The love I was waiting for starts here with me
Starts here with me
