You asked me if I loved you and I choked 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
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 'til the fear in me subsides
Oh, yeah
Romance and all it's strategy leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truth
A hesitant 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 (oh)
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
Oh, girl at times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly (hold you endlessly)
At times I understand you and I know how hard you try (how hard you try)
I watched our love commands you (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, oh (oh)
Sometimes when we touch (sometimes when we touch)
The honesty's too much (oh)
And I have to close my eyes and hide (oh)
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, I wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you (oh, I wanna hold you)
Till the fear in me subsides
♪
Yeah, yeah (hmm, hmm)
Hmm, hmm (hmm, hmm)
Oh (yeah)
Yeah (hey, yeah)
Till the fear subsides
