You asked me if I loved you and I choked on my reply
I rather hurt you honestly than miss lead 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 is to 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 'til the fear in me subsides

Romancing all his strategie, 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 prized fighter, still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch, the honesty is to 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 'til the fear in me subsides

At times I like to break you and drag you to your knees
At times I like to break through and hold you endlessly
At times I understand you and I know how hard you've tried
I've watched why 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 is to 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 'til the fear in me subsides
