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
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning
To see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till 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 truth
A hesitant prizefighter
Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
Sometimes I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you try
I've watched while love commands you
I've watched love pass you by
Sometimes I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
Oh, the honesty's too much
And I want to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Subsides, subsides
