It was just another quiet Friday night
The moon was low, the stars were bright
We were laughing, trading secrets untold
Your smile was warm, but your eyes were bold
And I felt it rising, that crazy pull
A moment so perfect, my heart was full
I almost said, "I love you," caught it on my lips
Held back the words, but my heart still slipped
It's too soon to say it, too strong to deny
I almost said, "I love you," but I kept it inside
You brushed my hand, and the world stood still
It felt like magic, against my will
Every little thing about you draws me in
A love so new, but it feels like it's always been
My chest was pounding, I couldn't breathe
The words were there, but I couldn't let them leave
I almost said, "I love you," caught it on my lips
Held back the words, but my heart still slipped
It's too soon to say it, too strong to deny
I almost said, "I love you," but I kept it inside
What if you're not ready? What if it's too fast?
But what if we lose this moment that'll never last?
I'm scared of the answer, but more of the unknown
My heart is screaming to make it known
I almost said, "I love you," caught it on my lips
Held back the words, but my heart still slipped
It's too soon to say it, too strong to deny
I almost said, "I love you," but I kept it inside
Maybe next time I'll take the leap
Say what's been playing on repeat
But tonight, I'll let the silence stay true
I almost said, "I love you," but someday, I'll do
