​too scared to ask lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see you around, you light up the room
But when I get close, it's like my tongue's in a tomb
My mind says, "Go for it," I know they're right
But I just can't seem to step into the light

[Chorus]
It's not that I'm scared of you
I'm scared of what I might lose
If you say no, I'm left with this mess
So I'll just keep my distance, I guess

[Verse 2]
I catch your eye, you give me that smile
Feels like a sign, but maybe I'm in denial
We cross paths, and I freeze in place
Can’t find the words when I see your face

[Chorus]
It's not that I'm scared of you
I'm scared of what I might lose
If you say no, I'm left with this mess
So I'll just keep my distance, I guess
It's not that I'm scared of you
I'm scared of what I might lose
If you say no, I'm left with this mеss
So I'll just keep my distance, I guess
[Bridge]
If I took the shot, what would you say?
Would you laugh it off or would you walk away?
I see us togеther, but it's all in my head
These "what ifs" keep me awake in my bed

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
It's not that I'm scared of you
I'm scared of what I might lose
If you say no, I'm left with this mess
So I'll just keep my distance, I guess
It's not that I'm scared of you
I'm scared of what I might lose
If you say no, I'm left with this mess
So I'll just keep my distance, I guess

[Outro]
Maybe one day, I'll find the nerve
But until then, I'll keep my reserve
It's easier to stay on the side
Than to put it all on the line
