You ask me if I love you, I choke on my reply I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie And who am I to judge you on what you say or do When I'm only just beginning to see the real you And sometimes when we talk, the honesty's too much Then 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 with all its strategy leaves me badly with my pride And through insecurity, some tenderness survives I'm just another writer, still trapped within my truth A hesitant prize fighter, still trapped within his youth And sometimes when we talk, the honesty's too much Then 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 Oh, at times I want to break you and drive you to your knees At times I want to break you and hold you endlessly And sometimes when we talk, the honesty's too much Then 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
