Verse
I see her in the hallway, heart in my throat
I wonder if she notices me at all
Or if I’m just a shadow against the wall
I imagine talking, imagine her smile
But fear keeps me frozen, afraid all the time
Pre-Chorus
Longing for courage, craving that first kiss
I rehearse the words but never say
Afraid my voice will betray me anyway
Chorus
What if I reach for her hand, and she pulls away?
What if I stay silent, and lose today?
But what if she’s waiting, hoping I’ll try?
What if this moment is ours, if I just say hi?
Just say hi
What if this moment is ours, if I just say hi?
Verse
I watch her from the corner of the room
My thoughts are storms
Every glance she gives burns straight through my soul
Maybe love begins with trembling hands
Maybe she’s been hoping I understand
Pre-C
What if I’m too small, too broken to be seen?
What if my words stumble, a clumsy routine?
I count every second, trapped in hesitation
Afraid of revealing the weight of my fixation
Chorus
What if I reach for her hand, and she pulls away?
What if I stay silent, and lose today?
But what if she’s waiting, hoping I’ll try?
What if this moment is ours, if I just say hi?
If i just say hi
Bridge
I imagine a life where courage finds me first
Where fear dissolves, leaving only thirst
Thirst for connection, for the warmth of her gaze
For the chance to step out of my quiet malaise
Maybe love is fragile, maybe love is brave
Maybe the only way forward is the risk I must take
Chorus (final, emotional climax)
What if I reach for her hand, and it’s too late?
What if my silence steals another day?
But what if she’s waiting, hoping I’ll try?
What if this moment could change everything, if I just say something?
Outro (soft, hopeful):
I’ll step closer tomorrow, even if I fall
Because what if she’s been waiting through it all?
I fear the rejection that hunts me at night
But her laugh, her eyes, they pull me near
Maybe courage lives inside the fear
What if this moment could change everything, if I just say something?
Tonenico
