You ask me if
I love you
and I choke
on my reply
I'd rather
hurt you honestly
then mislead
you with a tie
And who am I
to judge you
on what you say or do
I'm only just beging
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 stategy
leaves me battling
with my pride
But through
the insecurity
some tenderness surves
I'm just another writer
still trapped within
my truch
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 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 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
