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
For who am I to judge you In 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's an honest strategy Leaves me grappling with my pride But through the years of maturity Some tenderness survives I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth A hesitant prize-fighter 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 try I've watched whil 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....
