Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Would it scare you away
If I laid it all out tonight
Told you every little secret
I been holding too tight
You laughing at some story
Hair falling in your eyes
I’m smiling at the table
Just hoping you don’t catch mine
[Chorus]
Would it scare you away
If I told you I’ve loved you
For a long time
Sitting back in the shadows
Wishing you were mine
Every “how you been?” I swallow
Every hug that lingers long
Would it scare you away
If my quiet heart spoke up in a song (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
I know all your favorite coffee
How you take it when you’re sad
I’ve seen every busted heartbreak
And every almost that you had
I’ve been the one on your sofa
Passing tissues, passing wine
But I’m dying in the spaces
Between your hand and mine
[Chorus]
Would it scare you away
If I told you I’ve loved you
For a long time
Sitting back in the corners
Wishing you were mine
Every “you’ll find someone, I promise”
Cuts a little every time
Would it scare you away
If I said I hope that someone’s you and I
[Bridge]
Maybe I lose what we got
If I finally cross that line
Maybe I wake up tomorrow
And you’re gone from this life of mine
But maybe, just maybe
You’ve been waiting on this too
So I’m trembling as I ask you
“What if I’m in love with you?” (hey)
[Chorus]
Would it scare you away
If I told you I’ve loved you
For a long time
Not some passing little crush
But the stay-forever kind
I’ve been praying for the courage
And it’s standing in your eyes
Would it scare you away
If you whispered back
“I’ve been loving you the whole time”

Style
country, Gentle soft country ballad, male vocals. Fingerpicked acoustic guitar and warm upright bass, brushed snare and subtle pedal steel swells. Intimate verses nearly whisper over sparse chords; chorus opens with fuller strums and a small harmony stack. Tempo stays slow and tender, with a late-song dynamic lift, then a hushed final line almost a cappella., slow, soft, heartfelt
