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
who am I to judge you on what you say or do
I'm only just beginning, to see the real you

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 its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity, some tendeness survives
I'm just another writer, still trapped within my tricks
And your hesitant prize fighter trapped within your youth

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 understand you
And I know how hard you try
I've watched while love commands you
And Ive watched love pass you by
And at times I think we're drifters
searching for a friend
a brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

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
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
