Almost Sent It

[Verse 1]
Was staring at your name on my screen again
Typing something dumb just to press send
“Hey, what’s up?” then I backspaced twice
Truth is, I just miss your smile tonight

A hundred words I wanna say
But they all sound cliché
So I sit here scrolling, heart wide open
You don’t even know it

[Chorus]
I almost sent it, just hit that blue
“Been thinkin’ ‘bout ya, how are you?”
But I don’t wanna come off too strong
Even though it’s been too long
Girl, if you knew what I don’t say
You might be here instead of miles away
Every “what if” that I regret
Starts with a text I never sent

[Verse 2]
I saw your pic pop up with some friends
Had to smile, ‘cause there you go again
Lighting up the room without even trying
And here I am, still fighting
The feeling that don’t fade away
It’s always you at the end of the day

[Chorus]
I almost sent it, just hit that blue
“Been thinkin’ ‘bout ya, how are you?”
But I don’t wanna come off too strong
Even though it’s been too long
Girl, if you knew what I don’t say
You might be here instead of miles away
Every “what if” that I regret
Starts with a text I never sent

[Bridge – stripped down, emotional]
Maybe you’re one smile away from replyin’
Maybe I’m one word away from tryin’
But I won’t know unless I hit that line
So here it goes, this time…

[Final Chorus – more full, hopeful]
I finally sent it, just hit that blue
“Been thinkin’ ‘bout ya, how are you?”
Didn’t care if I came off strong
‘Cause girl, it’s been way too long
If you feel it too, don’t hesitate
I’m just a moment and a word away
No more “what ifs,” no more regrets
All from a text I finally sent

[Outro – soft steel guitar fade]
Yeah… all from a text I finally sent
