You asked 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
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
Romance and all
the stratagy
Leaves me battlin'
with my pride
But through the
insecurity
Some tenderness
survives
I'm just another
writer
Still trapped within
my truth
A hesatant prize
fighter
Still trapped within
my youth
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
At times I'd like
to break ya
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 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's too
much
That I have to
close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold ya
till I die
Till we both break
down and cry
I wanna hold ya
till the fear in me subsides
