[00:12.800] You ask me if I love you,
[00:16.450]and I choked on my reply.
[00:21.000]I'd rather hurt you honestly,
[00:24.990]than mislead you with a lie.
[00:28.940]And who am I to judge you,
[00:32.909]on what you say or do;
[00:37.049]I'm only just beginning,
[00:40.999]to see the real you.
[00:47.599]And sometimes when we touch,
[00:51.329]the honesty's too much,
[00:55.459]and I have to close my eyes and hide.
[01:02.878]I wanna hold you till I die,
[01:07.469]till we both break down and cry;
[01:11.999]I wanna hold you,
[01:14.049]till the fears in me subside.
[01:24.489]Romance and all its strategies,
[01:28.169]leave me battling with my pride.
[01:31.890]But through the insecurities,
[01:36.129]some tenderness surves.
[01:39.939]I am just another writer,
[01:44.038]still trapped within my truth;
[01:48.108]a hesitant prize fighter,
[01:52.008]still trapped within my youth.
[01:58.599]And sometimes when we touch,
[02:02.159]the honesty's too much,
[02:06.119]and I have to close my eyes and hide.
[02:13.690]I wanna hold you till I die,
[02:17.970]till we both break down and cry;
[02:22.020]I wanna hold you,
[02:24.279]till the fears in me subside.
[02:31.180]At times I'd like to break you,
[02:35.620]and drive you to your knees;
[02:39.829]at times I'd like to break through,
[02:44.000]and hold you endlessly.
[02:49.950]At times I understand you,
[02:53.670]and I know how hard you've tried.
[02:58.400]I've watched while love commands you,
[03:01.950]and watched while love passed you by.
[03:06.300]At times I think we're drifters,
[03:10.010]still searching for a friend,
[03:13.920]a brother or a sister,
[03:17.930]but then a passion flares again.
[03:24.250]And sometimes when we touch,
[03:28.460]the honesty's too much,
[03:31.970]and I have to close my eyes and hide.
[03:40.010]I wanna hold you till I die,
[03:44.180]till we both break down and cry;
[03:48.500]I wanna hold you,
[03:50.500]till the fears in me subside.
