[00:12.424] You ask me if I love you
[00:16.055] And I choke on my reply
[00:20.505] I'd rather hurt you honestly
[00:24.610] Than mislead you with a lie
[00:28.830] And who am I to judge you
[00:32.834] On what you say or do?
[00:37.040] I'm only just beginning to see the real you
[00:47.448] And sometimes when we touch
[00:51.499] The honesty's too much
[00:55.124] And I have to close my eyes and hide
[01:03.199] I wanna hold you til I die
[01:07.664] Til we both break down and cry
[01:11.939] I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
[01:17.991]
[01:24.558] Romance and all its strategy
[01:28.725] Leaves me battling with my pride
[01:32.654] But through the insecurity
[01:36.962] Some tenderness survives
[01:41.036] I'm just another writer
[01:45.398] Still trapped within my truth
[01:49.282] A hesitant prize fighter
[01:53.334] Still trapped within my youth
[01:59.693] And sometimes when we touch
[02:03.835] The honesty's too much
[02:07.613] And I have to close my eyes and hide
[02:15.782] I wanna hold you til I die
[02:20.071] Til we both break down and cry
[02:24.271] I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
[02:32.774] At times I'd like to break you
[02:37.129] And drive you to your knees
[02:41.087] At times I'd like to break through
[02:45.502] And hold you endlessly
[02:51.358] At times I understand you
[02:55.524] And I know how hard you've tried
[02:59.616] I've watched while love commands you
[03:03.958] And I've watched love pass you by
[03:08.191] At times I think we're drifters
[03:12.147] Still searching for a friend
[03:16.163] A brother or a sister
[03:20.314] But then the passion flares again
[03:26.724] And sometimes when we touch
[03:30.656] The honesty's too much
[03:34.277] And I have to close my eyes and hide
[03:42.915] I wanna hold you til I die
[03:47.088] Til we both break down and cry
[03:51.113] I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
[04:00.608]
