I've been looking for perfection, beauty, elegance,
I thought I had it all; love, passion and romance.
But my confidence runs out whenever I see her
I start to shake, to fear, to stutter
Now, I'm forced to choose between two roads
To dream that I'm his prince or to face that I'm just a toad
To go on dreaming of her with me in a perfect garden
Or to just forget her, face reality, and keep my heart broken

I've entrusted my chances to fate
Never stepped up to ask her for a date
But now, all I'm waiting is for a chance, though a million to one
A chance to talk to her, do what should've been done
A chance for her to know me, feel me, or at least talk to me
A chance for me to show her, give her the love I'll set free

I've been playing safe for far too long
Thinking stakes were too high if I played my hand wrong
But nothing ever happened bluffing
Staying silent, looking at her, pretending
I've been putting it in codes she won't even notice
But I know, I'll be the happiest man, if in a way, she reads this

**Silence, Play-safe, Fear-ENOUGH!
It's time to face it all and take that road no matter how rough
Last time I checked, I had nothing else to lose
Venus, Oh my beautiful Venus
I offer you my everything, my all
And Everything I will have, my life, my soul.
