Lyrics

Keep thinking of a way
to share what's in my brain
Don't want too long to contemplate
Really just want to come right out
and say how my feelings
for you are not the same

Feels so scary feels so new
Thinking what I have to do
Sharing what I feel for you
Seems so simple
But at the same time,
There's so much on the line
And I've never been one to gamble..

So how do I find the courage to say this out loud?
People like to say, the time is now
If you feel it in your heart, then it must come out
Just tell her how you feel
Even if the response isn't what you want to hear
You'll be proud of what you did
Over time, you'll consider it a win
And your friend won't disappear

I know they say it's for the best
and you'll feel proud you tried
But what they leave unsaid
is the shift in vibe
So hard to bear
The dread that happens next

The friendship might not go away
but it won't be the same
Eye contact will make me look away
I'll feel the need to keep distance
We'll both be careful from that day
To not ever mention it again

So how do I find the courage to say this out loud?
People like to say, the time is now
If you feel it in your heart, then it must come out
Just tell her how you feel
Even if the response isn't what you want to hear
You'll be proud of what you did
Over time, you'll consider it a win
And your friend won't disappear
