Lyric

I woke up this morning, rehearsed every line

Today is the day—I’ll make you mine

I’ll tell you, “Darling, I love you so,”

But somehow my lips, they just won’t go

I see you smiling, my heart skips a beat

But fear holds me down, glues me to my seat

I should be braver, but what if I fail?

What if I lose you, my love turns pale?

Oh, there ain't nothing quite as terrifying

As the thought of you saying goodbye

I’d rather keep dreaming, forever denying

Than risk watching you pass me by

I've faced the storm and walked through fire

Taken the hits, climbed even higher

But telling you how I truly feel?

Now that, my dear, is the scariest deal

Oh, there ain't nothing quite as terrifying

As the thought of you saying goodbye

I’d rather keep dreaming, forever denying

Than risk watching you pass me by

Maybe tomorrow, I’ll take the chance

Hold you close, steal that dance

But tonight, my heart just sways

Lost in fear, lost in the haze

So here I am, same old refrain

Watching you go, feeling the pain

But darling, someday, you’ll hear me say

“I love you, I love you—please, won’t you stay?”
