Why Can'T I

Why cant I just say these words?
Why cant I shout it out?
I've never been so afraid to say it, But I mean it so much that it hurts.
What's wrong with me? Whats happening?
This aint ever happened before.
So why cant i say what Im feeling?
Its so damn frustrating!
I dont know how, but I wanna say it out loud,
I guess im afraid
i'll scare him away,.... or he'll bust up in a laugh.
I know he cares for me, his heart is big,
But he may not feel the same about me as I do him.
But thats okay, until im old,
But right now i feel like im gonna explode.
Why cant I just say these words?
Why cant I shout it out?
I've never been so afraid to say it, But I mean it so much that it hurts.
I dont know how, but I wanna say it out loud,
I guess im afraid
i'll scare him away,
What's wrong with me? Whats happening?
This aint ever happened before.
So why cant i say what Im feeling?
Its so.. damn........ frustrating..... *sigh*
