I wish I wasn't so scared
Telling you how I feel seems impossible
If only I had the guts to shout it out
Make it real, put it out

But I feel like a fool
You'd never feel the same, we're too close
I'm scared if I said it, our friendship would change
Would you ever feel the same?

We talk all the time about who we like
My heart feels like it'll break out
My mind goes blank
I recklessly think I should just say it

Fear freezes my voice and I can't do it
Maybe being just friends is as far as it'll get
But I wish it wasn't
I get frustrated and I just wanna say it
But I can't
I'm scared
So will you tell me first?

Um, just something I thought up while I was listening to some music. I realized I'm always scared of what'd happen if I told who I like how I felt. I want to so bad, yet I just feel like it would ruin everything we already have :) I hope someone can relate :) its what I'm hoping for.
