[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]
