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
And sometimes when we touch,
the honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes an d 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
Romancing's all a strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
I'm just another writer,
still trapped within my truth
Like a hesitant prize fighter,
still trapped within his youth
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
At times I'd lie to break you,
and drive you to your knees
At times I'd lie to take you,
and hold you endlessly
At times I understand you,
and I know how hard you try
I've watched while love
commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times 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,
the honesty's too much
And I have to close my
eyes an d 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
