You asked me if I loved you 

and I choked on my reply 

I rather hurt you honestly 

than miss lead you with a lie 

and who am I to judge you 

on what you say or do 

I'm only just beginning 

to see the real you 

and sometimes when we touch 

the honesty to much 

and I have to close my eyes and hide 

I want to hold you 'til I die 

'til we both break down and cry 

I wanna hold you 'til 

the fear in me subsides 

romancing all his strategie 

leaves me battling with my pride 

but through the insecurity 

some tenderness survives 

I'm just another writer 

still trapped within my truths 

a hesatant prized fighter 

still trapped within my youth 

and sometimes when we touch 

the honesty to much 

and I have to close my eyes and hide 

I want to hold you 'til I die 

'til we both break down and cry 

I wanna hold you 'til 

the fear in me subsides 

at times I like to break you 

and drag you to your knees 

at times I like to break through 

and hold you endlessly 

at times I understand you 

and I know how hard you've tried 

I watched why love comands you 

and I watched love pass you by 

at times I think we're drifters 

still searching for a friend 

a brother or a sister 

but then the passion flares again 

and sometimes when we touch 

the honesty to much 

and I have to close my eyes and hide 

I want to hold you 'til I die 

'til we both break down and cry 

I wanna hold you 'til 

the fear in me subsides
