My mouth is dry, my mind is numb,
i’m so afraid I’ll say it wrong,
I hesitate; I’ll think it though,
can I be brave to say this to you?
it’s so important; this must go all right,
how can I speak with conviction when my head feels so light?
I feel your eyes search me when I look back at you,
i'm waiting for signals for what I should do,
Time is wasting, I cannot stay here,
I must confess to you, I must face my fear,
I feel the words slip from my mind to my lips,
there’s no turning back, no escape from this,
my body trembles, as my words float though the air,
how will you react, to what you hear?
will feelings go astray? will you reject?
i'm so anxious to how you will act,
but I am still waiting for you to reply,
these three little words, on which I rely.
