1
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
2
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
Chorus:
And 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
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
3
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
4
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
Chorus:
And 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 till the fear in me subsides
Bridge:
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
5
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
6
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
Chorus:
And 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
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
