Aaron Wilson - Being Shy Lyrics

I'm always uncertain what's behind the curtain or in the pages of a book
And although I'm curious, it makes me so furious that I haven't the nerve to look
For what comes after a kiss or laughter, fear prevents me from finding out
So take away my slavery and give me the bravery to deal with the fear of doubt
Then I can remove the mask and finally ask what I've always wanted to
Free of the disguise, I can look in your eyes and say I love you
I could ask for a dance or start a romance with just a little shove
I took aim, pulled the trigger, won the game, the game known as love
But no game has been played for in reality I'm afraid and I don't know where to start
Oh, but if I could, oh yes, if I would, I would give you my heart
I would win the game and reveal the flame that has been ignited
And by the light of the fire, I'd confess my desire and I wouldn't have to fight it
A desire that is forbidden, a love that is hidden, and words that remain unspoken
Tears I haven't cried, hope that hasn't died, and a heart that has never been broken
But unbroken is not enough, a heart needs to love, even if that love must end
Cause until a person tries, they'll never realize that a broken heart shall mend
I could ask for a dance or start a romance with just a little shove
For I took aim, pulled the trigger, won the game, the game known as love
But no game has been played for in reality I'm afraid and I don't know where to start
Oh, but if I could, oh yes, if I would, I would give you my heart
For I took aim, pulled the trigger, won the game, the game known as love
But no game has been played for in reality I'm afraid and I don't know where to start
Oh, I don't know where to start
I would win the game and reveal the flame that has been ignited
And by the light of the fire I'd confess my desire and I wouldn't have to fight it
A desire that is forbidden, a love that is hidden, and words that remain unspoken
Tears I haven't cried, hope that hasn't died, and a heart that has never been broken
But unbroken is not enough, a heart needs to love, even if that love must end
Cause until a person tries, they'll never realize that a broken heart shall mend
