Blush In The Dark”

[Verse 1] It’s been years since the last time I saw you, The streetlights were flickering low. You looked down, cheeks turning crimson, Like the sky when the sun starts to go. I still taste that awkward silence, The way your laugh tried to hide. We were dancing around the obvious, Too scared to step into the light. [Pre-Chorus] And I know you felt it too, That pull we never spoke about. But I’m still the same fool, Waiting for courage I can’t find now. [Chorus] I’m just a creep, standing in the rain, Thinking ‘bout the blush upon your face. I never told you how I felt that day, Now I’m scared I’ll never find the way. You liked me back, I swear I saw it clear, But fear kept me frozen all these years. Come back, let me say it out loud, Before the silence tears us down. [Verse 2] Your red cheeks in the winter twilight, Still burn behind my tired eyes. I replay every stolen glance, Every word we left disguised. I wanted to pull you closer, Say “this is more than just a friend”, But my tongue turned into stone, And the moment slipped away again. [Pre-Chorus] And I know you waited too, For me to cross that fragile line. Now I’m haunted by the truth, That I might’ve lost you in lost time. [Chorus] I’m just a creep, standing in the rain, Thinking ‘bout the blush upon your face. I never told you how I felt that day, Now I’m scared I’ll never find the way. You liked me back, I swear I saw it clear, But fear kept me frozen all these years. Come back, let me say it out loud, Before the silence tears us down. [Bridge] If I could turn back the clock tonight, I’d grab your hand under that pale moonlight. Whisper “I’ve always been yours”, No more hiding, no more wars. But I’m still here… still scared… Still hoping you’re out there somewhere. [Final Chorus – softer, almost spoken] I’m just a creep… but I loved you true, Carried your blush like a tattoo. If you still feel it, even now, Give me one chance to say it out loud… I love you. I always have.
