Crushing Hard

**Verse 1**  

In a crowded room, I catch your eye,  

Heart racing fast, but I can’t say why,  

You laugh, you shine, like a star in the night,  

But I’m just a shadow, lost in the light.  

**Pre-Chorus**  

I scribble your name on the edge of my page,  

Every word feels heavy, like I’m locked in a cage,  

Imagining moments that we could create,  

But fear holds me back, I hesitate.  

**Chorus**  

Oh, I’m crushing hard, but I’m frozen in time,  

Dreaming of love that’s so perfectly blind,  

You’re the melody playing in my silent song,  

But I’m scared to step forward, where do I belong?  

**Verse 2**  

Every smile you give feels like a spark,  

But I stutter my words, I’m lost in the dark,  

I wish I could tell you what’s deep in my soul,  

But the courage escapes me, and I pay the toll.  

**Pre-Chorus**  

I watch from a distance, my heart on display,  

Imagining whispers I can’t seem to say,  

The courage to reach you, it’s just out of sight,  

While I’m dreaming of us in the quiet of night.  

**Chorus**  

Oh, I’m crushing hard, but I’m frozen in time,  

Dreaming of love that’s so perfectly blind,  

You’re the melody playing in my silent song,  

But I’m scared to step forward, where do I belong?  

**Bridge**  

What if you knew all the words I can’t speak?  

Would your heart flutter, would your eyes seek?  

Maybe one day I’ll find that brave spark,  

And light up the shadows, ignite the dark.  

**Chorus**  

Oh, I’m crushing hard, but I’m frozen in time,  

Dreaming of love that’s so perfectly blind,  

You’re the melody playing in my silent song,  

But I’m scared to step forward, where do I belong?  

**Outro**  

So here’s to the dreams, and the fears that I chase,  

I’ll gather my courage, I’ll find my place,  

For you are the woman, my heart wants to claim,  

And one day I’ll whisper, I’ll speak your name.
