[Intro]
Oven hums a slow, hopeful tune.
[Verse 1]
I measure my courage in cups of flour,
Sneak a note into sugar by the hour.
A secret message baked in vanilla glaze,
A shy love note waiting in your gaze.
[Chorus]
Can this icing hold through the rush of dawn?
Will your eyes catch the words I'm too scared to say?
If the cake keeps secrets till the very end,
Maybe you'll read the sugar and feel the way.
[Verse 2]
Frosting trembles as I picture your surprise,
The frosting might crack and spill truth in your eyes.
A tiny squiggle could spill out my heart, all told,
Yet I bake on, hoping your smile will unfold.
[Chorus]
Can this icing hold till I finally say your name?
If the frosting breaks, will you hear the claim?
The cake will tell what words can't show,
Hold steady, sugar, let my feelings flow.
[Bridge]
If gravity of sugar betrays me, I’ll mend the seam,
With patience as my icing, and a candlelit dream.
I’ll wipe the crumbs and trust the heart you’ll see,
That every swirl was meant to set you free.
[Chorus]
Can this icing hold through the waiting night?
If the glaze pours out, will you still hold tight?
Let the cake be brave, let the truth be sweet,
When you taste it, I hope we finally meet.
[Outro]
Until you bite, I’ll keep the confession sealed.
