You ask me if I love you, and I choke on my reply
Id rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do

Im 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 want to hold you till the fear in me subsides


Romance and all it's strategy leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives

Im just another writer, still trapped within my truths
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 drag 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

Ive watch while love commands you
And Ive 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
