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
BUT SOMETIMES
WHEN WE TOUCH
THE HONESTY'S
TOO MUCH
AND I HAVE TO
CLOSE MY EYES
AND HIDE
I WANNA HOLD YA
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 INSECURITIES
SOME TENDERNESS
SURVIVES
I'M JUST
ANOTHER SINGER
STILL TRAPPED
WITHIN MY TRUTH
AND YOU'RE
A DIFFERENT DRUMMER
STILL TRAPPED
WITHIN YOUR YOUTH
AND SOMETIMES
WHEN WE TOUCH
THE HONESTY'S
TOO MUCH
AND I HAVE TO
CLOSE MY EYES
AND HIDE
I WANNA HOLD YA
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
AT TIMES I'D LIKE
TO BREAK THROUGH
AND HOLD YOU
ENDLESSLY
AT TIMES I
UNDERSTAND YOU
'CAUSE I KNOW
HOW HARD YOU'VE TRIED
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
OH THE HONESTY'S
TOO MUCH
AND I HAVE TO
CLOSE MY EYES
AND HIDE
I WANNA HOLD YA
TILL I DIE
TILL WE BOTH
BREAK DOWN AND CRY
I WANNA HOLD YOU
TILL THE FEAR IN ME
SUBSIDES
