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 till i die
till we both break down and cry
i want to 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 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
i´ve watch 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 want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
