[00:13.240]You ask me if I love you

[00:16.830]And I choke on my reply

[00:20.720]I'd rather hurt you honestly

[00:24.600]Than mislead you with a lie

[00:29.130]For who am I to judge you

[00:32.860]In what you say or do

[00:36.840]I'm only just beginning

[00:40.900]To see the real you

[00:47.060]And sometimes when we touch

[00:50.750]The honesty's too much

[00:54.780]And I have to close my eyes

[00:57.790]And hide

[01:02.640]I wanna hold you till I die

[01:06.490]Till we both break down and cry

[01:10.540]I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

[01:23.380]Romance's an honest strategy

[01:26.770]Leaves me battling with my pride

[01:30.810]But through the insecurity

[01:34.820]Some tenderness survives

[01:38.790]I'm just another writer

[01:42.760]Still trapped within my truth

[01:46.880]A hesitant prize-fighter

[01:50.820]Still trapped within my youth

[01:56.480]And sometimes when we touch

[02:00.640]The honesty's too much

[02:04.570]And I have to close my eyes

[02:07.930]And hide

[02:12.400]I wanna hold you till I die

[02:16.350]Till we both break down and cry

[02:20.590]I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

[02:29.050]At times I'd like to break you

[02:33.040]And drive you to your knees

[02:37.040]At times I'd like to break through

[02:41.050]And hold you endlessly

[02:47.160]At times I understand you

[02:50.760]And I know how hard you try

[02:54.800]I've watched while love commands you

[02:58.790]And I've watched love pass you by

[03:03.050]At times I think we're drifters

[03:06.670]Still searching for a friend

[03:11.000]A brother or a sister

[03:14.690]But then the passion flares again....

[03:21.040]And sometimes when we touch

[03:24.830]The honesty's too much

[03:28.620]And I have to close my eyes

[03:32.010]And hide

[03:36.230]I wanna hold you till I die

[03:40.410]Till we both break down and cry

[03:44.350]I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
