Butterflies Won’t Let Me Speak

Verse 1

Every time you walk in the room

My mind goes quiet, my heart goes boom

Had this speech rehearsed all night

But it disappear when you’re in my sight

I try to play it cool, act like I’m fine

But my hands shake every time you smile

There’s a thousand words stuck in my chest

But my lips won’t let me confess

Pre-Chorus

I swear I’m brave when you’re not around

But courage fades when you’re right here now

My heartbeat louder than my voice

And my fear is makin’ the choice

Chorus

I got butterflies in my stomach, can’t breathe

Every time you get too close to me

I wanna say I love you, but my voice won’t try

It gets lost in the look in your eyes

I practice “I need you” in my head all week

But when it’s time, I can’t even speak

Yeah, I’m fallin’ hard, and it’s honestly true

These butterflies won’t let me talk to you

Verse 2

I overthink every little sign

Did that smile mean yours or mine?

I type the text, then erase it twice

Tell myself, “Next time, I’ll be nice”

I wonder if you feel it too

Or if this love’s just one-sided, untrue

But when you laugh, I start to believe

There might be more than you and me

Pre-Chorus

If you knew how my heart reacts

You’d see this ain’t just an act

I’m scared of what you might say

But more scared I’ll let you walk away

Chorus

I got butterflies in my stomach, can’t breathe

Every time you get too close to me

I wanna say I love you, but my voice won’t try

It gets lost in the look in your eyes

I practice “I need you” in my head all week

But when it’s time, I can’t even speak

Yeah, I’m fallin’ hard, and it’s honestly true

These butterflies won’t let me talk to you

Bridge (Soft, Almost Whispered)

Maybe one day I’ll find the nerve

Tell you you’re everything I deserve

Or maybe you’ll see it in my smile

In the way I look at you a while

If love’s a language I can’t pronounce

Maybe my heart’s already said it out loud

Final Chorus

I got butterflies, but they mean it’s real

Every nervous moment, every feel

If I ever find the strength to try

I’ll tell you the truth, no more goodbyes

Till then, I’ll hold this hope inside

Dream of the day I don’t hide

Yeah, I’m fallin’ hard, and I hope you knew

Every quiet moment’s been loving you

Outro

So if I’m quiet when you’re near

It’s not indifference, it’s fear

One day I’ll say what my heart already does…

I love you
