Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Oh, 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
[Verse 5]
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
Oh, girl, at times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
Hold me endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you try
I watch while love commands you
And I watch love pass you by
[Verse 6]
At times I think we're drifters
Still searchin' for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
[Verse 7]
Whoa, and sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
Oh, oh
I wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Till we both break down and cry
Oh
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Ooh
