[Verse 1]
For he is my inspiration
He is the one I love the most
Every little thing you do
Stays with me like a quiet ghost
I want to hold you
Keep you close to me
Take care of you
Like you were made for me
[Pre-Chorus]
But how can I say it
When my hands shake every time?
I keep the words in my chest
I keep them locked inside
[Chorus]
Scared to tell you
Scared to tell you
But I need you near
I need you near
Forever I will love you
Forever I will love you
If you reach for me
I will be there
[Verse 2]
I see you laughing in the doorway
I forget the words I planned
My heart runs ahead of me
My mouth can barely stand
If I could give you everything
I would lay it in your hands
A safe place, a soft home
A promise that still stands
[Pre-Chorus]
But how can I say it
When my voice falls apart?
I have loved you from the start
I have loved you from the start
[Chorus]
Scared to tell you
Scared to tell you
But I need you near
I need you near
Forever I will love you
Forever I will love you
If you reach for me
I will be there
[Bridge]
If I breathe it softly
Will you hear my heart?
If I step closer
Will you let me start?
No more hiding
No more turning away
I was made to love you
I was made to stay
[Final Chorus]
Scared to tell you
Scared to tell you
But I need you near
I need you near
Forever I will love you
Forever I will love you
Take my hand, my dear
I am here
