Tonight I’ll Say It

(Tonight…)

I won’t run away

I’ve walked this road a thousand times

With all these words between the lines

I kept them safe inside my chest

Afraid to put my heart to test

You laugh and brush against my hand

Like maybe you would understand

The way my pulse begins to race

Every time I see your face

I’m tired of hiding what is true

Every road keeps leading back to you

Tonight I’ll say it

No more almost, no more maybe

I don’t wanna lose you lately

To the silence we both hide in

Tonight I’ll say it

Even if my voice is shaking

Even if my heart is breaking

I’d rather try than let you go

The streetlights flicker in your eyes

Like tiny sparks across the sky

The air is cold, my hands are warm

I know this is the turning point

If courage lives in fragile hearts

Then this is where mine starts

Tonight I’ll say it

No more playing safe and small

No more waiting for the fall

Of some perfect moment

Tonight I’ll say it

Every fear can fade away

If you look at me and stay

And tell me you feel it too

One breath, one chance, one simple line

“Would you be mine?”

Tonight I’ll say it

All the love I’ve kept inside

All the tears I used to hide

All the hope I never showed

Tonight I’ll say it

Whatever happens after this

At least you’ll know my heart exists

And beats for you

(Tonight…)

I’ll say it
