[Verse 1]
You text me while they're waiting by the door
Say you miss the way we talked before
You keep your jacket on, your suitcase zipped
But leave your little promises on my lips
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it's complicated, say it's almost done
Then send me hearts when you get home to someone
[Chorus]
Don't hold my hand with one hand on the past
Don't call this something if you won't make it last
You want a new beginning, but you won't close the door
Keep your half-made goodbye—I won't be your almost anymore
[Verse 2]
You ask me not to disappear on you
While making plans for two, then adding me in too
You say, “Just wait,” like waiting makes it right
I’m not a secret tucked away at night
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it's complicated, say you're nearly free
But nearly isn't choosing me
[Chorus]
Don't hold my hand with one hand on the past
Don't call this something if you won't make it last
You want a new beginning, but you won't close the door
Keep your half-made goodbye—I won't be your almost anymore
[Bridge]
I’m not your landing place between two lives
Not the little spark you keep alive
When you know what you want, come honest, come alone
Till then, let my number rest in your phone
[Final Chorus]
Don't hold my hand with one hand on the past
Don't call this something if you won't make it last
You want a new beginning, but you won't close the door
Keep your half-made goodbye—I won't be your almost anymore
[Outro]
Not your almost, not your maybe
Make a choice—or let me be
