You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I d rather hurt you honestly
than mislead 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 s too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I m just another writer
still trapped within my truths
A hesitant prizefighter
still trapped within my youth (*)
At times I d like to break you
and drive you to your knees
At times I d like to break through
and hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I know how hard you ve tried
I ve watched while love commands you
and I ve 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 (*)
