Lyrics
You ask me if I love you, and I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie
Who am I to judge you on what you say or do
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
Sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truths
And your hesitant prize fighter trapped within my youth
Sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til the fear in me subsides
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
And at times I think were drifters
Searching for a friend, a brother, or a sister
But then the passion flares again
Sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til the fear in me subsides
I wanna hold you 'til the fear in me subsides
Writer(s): Barry Mann, Dan Hill
