[00:13.010]You ask me if I love you,
[00:16.750]And I choked on my reply.
[00:21.300]I'd rather hurt you honestly,
[00:25.290]Than mislead you with a lie.
[00:29.240]And who am I to judge you,
[00:33.210]On what you say or do;
[00:37.350]I'm only just beginning,
[00:41.300]To see the real you.
[00:46.540].
[00:47.900]And sometimes when we touch,
[00:51.630]The honesty's too much,
[00:55.760]And I have to close my eyes and hide.
[01:03.180]I wanna hold you till I die,
[01:07.770]Till we both break down and cry;
[01:11.850]I wanna hold you,
[01:14.350]Till the fears in me subside.
[01:19.240].
[01:24.790]Romance and all its strategies,
[01:28.470]leave me battling with my pride.
[01:32.020]But through the insecurities,
[01:36.430]Some tenderness surves.
[01:40.240]I am just another writer,
[01:44.340]Still trapped within my truth;
[01:48.410]A hesitant prize fighter,
[01:52.310]Still trapped within my youth.
[01:57.920].
[01:58.810]And sometimes when we touch,
[02:02.460]The honesty's too much,
[02:06.420]And I have to close my eyes and hide.
[02:13.990]I wanna hold you till I die,
[02:18.270]Till we both break down and cry;
[02:22.320]I wanna hold you,
[02:24.580]Till the fears in me subside.
[02:29.370].
[02:31.480]At times I'd like to break you,
[02:35.920]And drive you to your knees;
[02:40.130]At times I'd like to break through,
[02:43.850]And hold you endlessly.
[02:48.290].
[02:50.250]At times I understand you,
[02:53.970]And I know how hard you've tried.
[02:58.070]I've watched while love commands you,
[03:02.250]And watched while love passed you by.
[03:06.600]At times I think we're drifters,
[03:10.310]Still searching for a friend,
[03:14.220]A brother or a sister,
[03:18.230]But then a passion flares again.
[03:23.340]
[03:24.550]And sometimes when we touch,
[03:28.760]The honesty's too much,
[03:32.270]And I have to close my eyes and hide.
[03:40.310]I wanna hold you till I die,
[03:44.480]Till we both break down and cry;
[03:48.080]I wanna hold you,
[03:50.800]tTll the fears in me subside.
