Men Get Scared Too

How can I not say to your face what I say to you by text?  
Why am I so afraid?  
I know what I want to say, I've rehearsed it all,  
And yet it's still all going unsaid!  

Maybe I'm not a real man, real men dont fret...  
But when I look in the mirror it's a man I see?  
So why is the man in me afraid to tell you,  
Of all the things you are to me?  
 
You see, my mind never stops analysing possible outcomes and scenarios...  
It just never bloody closes down!  
No matter how much I rehearse my lines  
I think my voice will sink and drown.  
 
Its fear, because I know I love you...  
I know you know that I'm a little bit afraid  
But I need to pluck up the courage  
I cant let these things remain unsaid...  
 
It's just the butterflies in my stomach  
Have been replaced by a raging bull  
Everytime I'm in your company  
Hes knocking me around like a fool...  
 
It's been 8 years since my last relationship  
That's adding to my feeling nervous too  
But I've also had 8 years to realise  
That all I need in my life is you...  
 
And I can sense that theres something between us  
Something a lot more than just being a close friend...  
I want you, I need you, I love you..  
That shouldn't be hard to comprehend...  
 
You know how I feel about you, and yet you say nothing?  
Maybe a little nudge would help with my confidence?  
It's not you I'm afraid of, I love you!  
It's me, I need to use my common sense.  
 
What am I afraid off? You never judge or disrespect me..  
On the contrary, your always there for me, your my rock.  
It's up to me to put things straight  
Instead of texting, I should really just talk...
