I<br />
You ask me if I love you<br />
And I choke on my reply<br />
I'd rather hurt you honestly<br />
Than mislead you with a lie<br />
And who am I to judge you<br />
On what you say or do<br />
I'm only just beginning<br />
To see the real you<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
And sometimes when we touch<br />
The honesty's too much<br />
And I have to close my eyes and hide<br />
I wanna hold you 'til I die<br />
'Til we both break down and cry<br />
I wanna hold you 'til<br />
The fear in me subsides<br />
<br />
II<br />
Romance and all it's strategies<br />
Leaves me battling with my pride<br />
But through the insecurity<br />
Some tenderness survives<br />
I'm just another writer<br />
Still trapped within my truth<br />
A hesitant prize fighter<br />
Still trapped within my youth<br />
<br />
III<br />
And sometimes when we touch<br />
The honesty's too much<br />
And I have to close my eyes and hide<br />
I wanna hold you 'til I die<br />
'Til we both break down and cry<br />
I wanna hold you 'til<br />
The fear in me subsides<br />
<br />
Bridge:<br />
At times I'd like to break you<br />
And drive you to your knees<br />
At times I'd like to break through<br />
And hold you endlessly<br />
At times I understand you<br />
And I know how hard you've tried<br />
I've watched while love commands you<br />
And I've watched love pass you by<br />
At times I think we're drifters<br />
Still searching for a friend<br />
A brother or a sister<br />
But then the passion flares again<br />
<br />
Refrain:<br />
And sometimes when we touch<br />
The honesty's too much<br />
And I have to close my eyes and hide<br />
I wanna hold you 'til I die<br />
'Til we both break down and cry<br />
I wanna hold you 'til<br />
The fear in me subsides</
