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
WHO AM I TO JUDGE YOU
ON WHAT YOU SAY OR DO
I'M ONLY JUST BEGINNING
TO SEE THE REAL YOU
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 INSECURITY
SOME TENDERNESS
SURVIVES
I'M JUST ANOTHER
WRITER
STILL TRAPPED
WITHIN MY TRUTHS
YOU'RE A HESITANT
PRIZE FIGHTER
TRAPPED WITHIN
YOUR YOUTH
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 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
AND AT TIMES I THINK
WE'RE DRIFTERS
SEARCHIN' FOR A FRIEND
A BROTHER OR A SISTER
BUT THEN THE PASSION
PLAYS AGAIN
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
I WANNA HOLD YOU
TILL THE FEAR IN ME
SUBSIDES
