Lyrics

You asked me if I loved you
And I choked on my reply
I rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do
I'm only just beginning
To see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til
The fear in me subsides
Romancing all his strategies
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truths
A hesitant prized fighter
Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til
The fear in me subsides
At times I like to break you
And drag you to your knees
At times I like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I watched why love comands you
And I watched love passed 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 to much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til
The fear in me subsides
