|
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 til I die |
|
Til 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 til I die |
|
Til 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 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 |
|
The honesty's too much |
|
And I have to close my eyes and hide |
|
I wanna hold you til I die |
|
Til we both break down and cry |
|
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides |
