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 honestly`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 it`s 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 prize fighter
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 wanna hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I`d like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I`d like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you and I know how hard you`ve tried
I`ve watch 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 and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
