You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply
Id rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do
Im only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honestys 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 want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives
Im just another writer, still trapped within my truths
A hesitant prize fighter still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
The honestys 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 want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times Id like to break you and drag you to your knees
At times Id like to break through and hold you endlessly
At times I understand you and I know how hard youve tried
Ive watch while love commands you
And Ive watched love pass you by
At times I think were drifters, still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
The honestys 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 want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
