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
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 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
And 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
The honesty's
too much
And I have to close
my eyes and hide
I wanna hold
you until I die
Till we both break
down and cry
I wanna hold you
till the fear in
me subsides
I wanna hold you
till the fear in
me subsides
I wanna hold you
till the fear in
me subsides...
Ooh yeah
