[Verse 1]
I keep it tucked inside
Like a secret in my sleeve
When you walk into the room
I forget how to breathe
I look away and smile
Like it’s nothing when you’re near
But my hands start shaking
Every time you get too near
[Pre-Chorus]
And I try to play it cool
Act like I don’t care
But your name hits my chest
And I’m already there
[Chorus]
My heart beats fast
When you get close
My heart beats fast
And you don’t know
I’m scared to say
What I feel inside
I just want to love you
I just want to try
[Verse 2]
I don’t want you turning cold
I don’t want that hurt again
So I leave my feelings folded
And I lock them deep within
But when you laugh that way
It breaks right through my pride
And I want to tell the truth
Before it slips back inside
[Pre-Chorus]
And I try to play it cool
Act like I don’t care
But your name hits my chest
And I’m already there
[Chorus]
My heart beats fast
When you get close
My heart beats fast
And you don’t know
I’m scared to say
What I feel inside
I just want to love you
I just want to try
[Bridge]
If I say it out loud
Will you look away?
Will you leave me standing here
With nothing left to say?
But I can’t keep this in
It burns too bright
If you take my hand
I’ll stop the fight
[Chorus]
My heart beats fast
When you get close
My heart beats fast
And you don’t know
I’m scared to say
What I feel inside
I just want to love you
I just want to try
[Outro]
If you turn and smile
Maybe I’ll be brave
My heart beats fast
But I’m here to stay
