I don't know why it's so hard to admit
To tell you that you're so hard to forget
Summon the courage to give up and submit
Just look into your eyes and I would find it

Why can't I say I just want to kiss you
Maybe it's because I already miss you
Maybe it would just get worse
Or maybe only at first

Maybe I'm afraid of what you would say
That you would look down and turn the other way
Think I'm just a kid with a game to play
Rainbows and flowers if he had his way

Maybe I don't know if you're ready yet
It's a lot of chips to place on a bet
But I know that isn't true
If anyone's ready to be happy it's you

Maybe I'm scared to hope its me she chooses
I could just be scared it'll be me who loses
Or maybe one day these words will have their uses
And they'll spill out when I'm all out if excuses
*Maybe...
