Lewis Capaldi drops his gut-wrenching third single Almost today, October 24, 2025, building the hype for his upcoming EP Survive set for late 2025 via Vertigo Berlin and Capitol Records.
Just over a month after Something In The Heavens, this one’s a slow-burn confessional that captures that fragile space between heartbreak and healing—where you’re telling yourself you’re fine, but the truth slips out in the cracks. Debuted live back on September 6 during the kickoff of his UK & Ireland Summer 2025 Tour in Sheffield, it had fans in tears right away, sharing clips of Capaldi pouring his soul into lines like “I swear to God I’m almost alright / I only think about you all the time.”
Originally penned as I Only Think About You All The Time—per the liner notes from his official store’s Something In The Heavens Lyrics CD—the title shift to Almost nails that almost-there recovery vibe. Confirmed during his BBC Live Lounge set on October 21, the track’s stripped-back piano and Capaldi’s raspy delivery make every “almost” feel like a half-lie we all whisper to get through the day. It’s got that classic Capaldi punch: raw verses about pretending the pain’s fading, a pre-chorus trap of endless trying, and a chorus that loops the denial until the bridge just echoes it back, simple and shattering.
X is lighting up with reactions since the midnight drop—fans calling it his most relatable since Someone You Loved, with one saying it’s “the perfect end to my birthday” amid the emotional flood. As Survive shapes up with debuts like The Day That I Die alongside this and the heavens track, Capaldi’s proving he’s back, vulnerability and all, turning personal battles into anthems that hit universal.
Dive into the ALMOST lyrics below and unpack its tender denial. Don’t miss other SURVIVE tracks for more of Capaldi’s soul-baring gems.

Lyrics of Almost by Lewis Capaldi
[Verse 1]
Standing Back But On The Edge
Wide Awake But Laid In Bed
The Pain Is Real, But I’ll Pretend
That All The Hurting Has An End
[Pre-Chorus]
Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide
No Way To Live, No Way To Die
Done All I Can, All I Do Is Try
To Get Through The Daylight
[Chorus]
I Swear To God I’m Almost Alright
I Only Think About You All The Time
I Almost Never Fall Asleep
Wishing You Were Here With Me
And I Promise I’ve Completely Let You Go
Almost
[Verse 2]
Talking Circles Round The Room
Like I’ve Got A Point To Prove
Every Word Except The Truth
To Everybody Else But You
[Pre-Chorus]
Done All I Can, All I Do Is Try
To Get Through Another Night
[Chorus]
I Swear To God I’m Almost Alright
I Only Think About You All The Time
I Almost Never Fall Asleep
Wishing You Were Here With Me
And I Promise I’ve Completely Let You Go
I Swear To God I’m Almost Okay
I Only Talk About You Every Day
It Almost Never Cut Me Deep
When I Had To Watch You Leave
And I Promise I’ve Completely Let You Go
Almost
[Bridge]
Almost
Almost
[Chorus]
I Swear To God I’m Almost Alright
I Only Think About You All The Time
I Almost Never Fall Asleep
Wishing You Were Here With Me
And I Promise I’ve Completely Let You Go
Almost
