What if, today, I told you how I feel?
What if, today, I let you know my heart?
Would I even know how to express it?
And, would I even know how I should start?
What if, today, I told you how I feel?
After this time of hiding, deep, my heart?
Would you listen to all my thoughts on love?
Would you walk away, tearing me apart?
What if, today, I told you how I feel?
Oh, would I, now, even know what to do?
With someone so beautiful, funny, sweet?
Would I even know just how to treat you?
What if, today, I told you how I feel?
The mystery that lies in my heart to be unveiled
And whether 'yes' or 'no' be the answer...
At least, then, inaction might not prevail
What if, today, I told you how I feel?
Ah, but who am I attempting to fool?
I fear love (or, at least, its rejection)
This joke I play on myself is so cruel
So, what if, today, I said how I feel?
Or, let it burn within me forever?
In closing I declare I do love you
Even if, your heart, I don't endeavor
