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,
in what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning,
to see the real you.
**chorus**
And sometimes when we touch,
the honesty's too much,
and I have to close my eyes, and hide.
I want to hold you till I die,
till we both break down and cry.
I want to hold you
till the fear in me, subsides.
**end chorus**
Romance and all it's strategy,
leaves me battling with my pride.
But through all the insecurity,
some tenderness survives.
I'm just another writer,
still trapped within my truth.
A hesitant prize fighter,
still trapped within my youth.
**chorus**
At times I'd like to break you,
and drive 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 try.
I've watched while love commanded 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.
**chorus**
Subsides...........
Hmmmmmmmmm.......
