almost included

When your cousin walks into the room You do your best to mute your voice Not supposed to talk Not supposed to move Just let them be in tune

Later at dinner Your chair just a little to the corner Just a little less food on your platter

Lucky are the ones who don't understand The pain of being almost included Almost, almost, almost, almost included

Lucky are the ones who don't understand The pain of being almost included Almost, almost, almost, almost included

You laugh a second too late again Their eyes already moved away You trace the edges of your plate Pretend you've got something to say

You practice lines inside your head But the moment's gone before it's said You bite your tongue till it feels numb

Lucky are the ones who don't understand The weight of trying to feel human Almost, almost, almost, almost included

Lucky are the ones who don't understand The pain of being almost included Almost, almost, almost, almost included

Aah, ooh Aah, ooh Almost, almost, almost included

You told yourself it's fine, you're strong But nights like this still feel so long The noise around you starts to fade The mirror says you're still the same A shadow waiting for a name If you whisper loud enough Would anyone turn their head

Lucky are the ones who never had to stand At the edge of laughter, empty-handed Almost, almost, almost included

Lucky are the ones who never had to stand At the edge of laughter, empty-handed Almost, almost included

Aah Aah

You're almost, almost, almost included Almost included
