What can you lose?
Contemplating the potential consequences of taking a risk or expressing emotions.
Only the blues
The potential downside of the risk is limited to feeling sad or downhearted.
Why keep concealing everything you're feeling?
Questioning the choice to hide one's true feelings and encouraging openness.
Say it to her, what can you lose?
Encouraging the expression of feelings to a person, taking a chance in communication.
Maybe it shows
Suggesting that the feelings might be evident, possibly to the other person involved.
She's had clues, which she chose to ignore
Acknowledging that the other person may have noticed hints but chose to ignore them.
Maybe though she knows
Considering the possibility that the other person is aware of the feelings but prefers to maintain the status quo.
And just wants to go on as before
Speculating that the other person wishes to continue the relationship as it was, without romantic involvement.
As a friend, nothing more
Expressing a willingness to remain friends without pursuing a romantic connection.
So she closes the door
Suggesting the other person's decision to close the door on a romantic relationship.
Well, if she does
Considering the potential consequences if the other person decides to close the door on the relationship.
Those are the dues
Acknowledging that facing the repercussions is an unavoidable part of taking emotional risks.
Once the words are spoken

Something may be broken
Acknowledging the potential for damage once feelings are openly expressed.
Still, you love her
Despite the risks, emphasizing the enduring love for the other person.
What can you lose?
Reiterating the question about potential losses when expressing love.
But what if she goes?
Considering the possibility of the other person leaving, acknowledging the pain but highlighting the gained experience.
At least now, you have part of her
Finding solace in having shared moments and memories if the other person decides to leave.
What if she had to choose?
Exploring the hypothetical scenario of the other person having to make a choice.
Leave it alone
Advising against interfering or discussing the situation further.
Hold it all in
Suggesting the alternative of keeping emotions bottled up and not expressing them.
Better a bone

Don't even begin
Advising against even starting the process of expressing feelings to avoid potential pain.
With so much to win
Highlighting the potential gains in refraining from expressing feelings.
There's too much to lose
Recognizing the significant potential losses associated with expressing romantic feelings.
