There's a word sitting heavy on my tongue Like a promise that I've carried far too long Every time I see you smile that way I almost say it, then I look away There's a feeling rising up inside my chest Like a bird that's trying to escape its nest And I've practiced how I'd say it in the dark But you're standing here and I can't even start What if I break this perfect moment? What if you don't feel it too? What if these three words between us Change everything we knew? I'm standing at the edge of I love you Heart pounding, breath catching, terrified and true One step, one word, one leap into the blue I'm standing at the edge of I love you I've rehearsed a thousand different ways to say How you turn my ordinary into grace But the silence holds more weight than any sound And we're dancing on this holy, shaky ground Three words could change forever Three words I want to give But the moment right before them Might be the most alive I'll ever live We're standing at the edge of I love you Hearts pounding, breath catching, terrified and true One step, one word, one leap into the blue We're standing at the edge of I love you! What if I just— What if we just— Let the fall become the flying Let the fear become the faith Close our eyes and trust the landing Sometimes love means taking the— I love you! Heart soaring, finally saying what was always true! One step, one word, we finally made it through We're not standing at the edge anymore— I love you I love you I love you
