You ask me if I love you, and a choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Then mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you, and 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 it's strategy
Leaves me batting with my pride
But through the insecurity, some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prizefighter 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 under stand you
And I know how hard you try
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 till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
