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

Butterflies Won’t Let Me Speak
