I Shy Away

I get all clumsy  
every time that 
I see you...

I lose all control.

I don't know
where to go...

What to do...

Where to hide,
how I feel about 
you.

I'm afraid to show 
it, not knowing if 
you feel the same.

So I shy away...

Praying that one day 
you'll notice me, and 
we become friends.

Then maybe, 
just maybe...

If there's a chance,
you'll fall in love with 
me.
