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
In 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 want to 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
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truths
And you're hesitant prize bottom
Trapped within your youth
Sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to 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 understand you
And I know how hard you try
I watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
And at times I think we're drifters
Searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
Sometimes when we touch
the honesty's too much
and I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold ya till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
