I want to be

I'm the girl you almost knew
I'm the wind that almost blew

I'm a whisper that was almost a scream
An no one is ever quite like they seem

I'm the tears you almost cried
I'm the dream that almost died

I'm the weak that was almost strong
In the 24 hours that seemed twice as long

I'm a guitar without the strings,
I am a closet, full of lost things

I'm the ship that almost sailed
I'm the train that got derailed

I'm the voice that almost mattered,
before it grew quiet, courage shattered

I'm the rainbow that faded away
I'm your sky, washed out to gray.

I'll hold up this light until you can see:
This isn't who I wanted to be
