Why do my hands shake when I look up at your eyes?

Why is it so hard to claim you as my prize?

Why do these nerves hold me back?

Why can’t I keep my mind on track?

Why do my hands get all clammy?

It’s like I won a Grammy

But can’t claim my prize

Because I’m afraid that they will despise

Me for who I am

That I’m not a man

Who’s not part of their plan

Not knowing what to say

That I begin to stray

Scared of rejection

Not knowing that it’s just a deception

Poisoned in my head from keeping me from going into the right direction

From showing my true affection

She’s sitting there open for me to claim

All I have to do is be a man and call out her name

And spark up a flame

Because love may be at first shy

All I have to do is get out of my comfort zone and at least try

Because you’ll never know that this might be your last goodbye
