[00:13.28]You ask me if I love you
[00:17.03]And I choke on my reply
[00:21.79]I'd rather hurt you honestly
[00:25.72]Than mislead you with a lie
[00:30.02]And who am I to judge you
[00:34.33]On what you say or do
[00:39.05]I'm only just beginning to see the real you
[00:49.43]And sometimes when we touch
[00:53.91]The honesty's too much
[00:57.87]And I have to close my eyes and hide
[01:06.24]I wanna hold you til I die
[01:10.73]Til we both break down and cry
[01:15.43]I wanna hold you
[01:17.30]Till the fear in me subsides
[01:28.86]Romance and all its strategy
[01:32.87]Leaves me battling with my pride
[01:37.32]But through the insecurity
[01:41.75]Some tenderness survives
[01:45.75]I'm just another writer
[01:49.94]Still trapped within my truth
[01:55.01]A hesitant prize fighter
[01:58.70]Still trapped within my youth
[02:05.25]And sometimes when we touch
[02:09.77]The honesty's too much
[02:13.82]And I have to close my eyes and hide
[02:21.95]I wanna hold you til I die
[02:26.50]Til we both break down and cry
[02:31.36]I wanna hold you
[02:33.02]Till the fear in me subsides
[02:39.82]At times I'd like to break you
[02:43.87]And drive you to your knees
[02:49.20]At times I'd like to break through
[02:53.58]And hold you endlessly
[02:59.81]At times I understand you
[03:04.14]And I know how hard you've tried
[03:09.14]I've watched while love commands you
[03:12.88]And I've watched love pass you by
[03:17.50]Juat another drifters
[03:21.53]Still searching for a friend
[03:25.96]A brother or a sister
[03:29.78]And then the passion flares again
[03:36.82]And sometimes when we touch
[03:40.44]The honesty's too much
[03:45.38]And I have to close my eyes and hide
[03:53.51]I wanna hold you til I die
[03:58.20]Til we both break down and cry
[04:02.63]I wanna hold you
[04:04.66]Till the fear in me subsides
[04:11.73]Til we both break down and cry
[04:14.42]I wanna hold you
[04:17.72]Till the fear in me subsides
