[00:12.11]You ask me if I love you
[00:15.62]And I choke on my reply
[00:20.20]I'd rather hurt you honestly
[00:24.12]Than mislead you with a lie
[00:28.13]And who am I to judge you
[00:31.91]In what you say or do?
[00:36.24]I'm only just beginning
[00:40.26]To see the real you
[00:46.10]And sometimes when we touch
[00:50.33]The honesty's too much
[00:54.13]And I have to close my eyes and hide
[01:01.56]I want to hold you 'til I die
[01:05.62]'Til we both break down and cry
[01:09.96]I want to hold you 'til the fear in me subsides
[01:22.10]Romance and all it's strategy
[01:25.50]Leaves me battling with my pride
[01:30.26]But through all the insecurity
[01:34.28]Some tenderness survives
[01:38.29]I'm just another writer
[01:42.25]Still trapped within my truth
[01:46.55]A hesitant prize fighter
[01:50.24]Still trapped within my youth
[01:56.34]And sometimes when we touch
[02:00.35]The honesty's too much
[02:04.38]And I have to close my eyes and hide
[02:11.85]I want to hold you 'til I die
[02:15.51]'Til we both break down and cry
[02:19.87]I want to hold you 'til the fear in me subsides
[02:27.82]At times I'd like to break you
[02:31.83]And drive you to your knees
[02:36.44]At times I'd like to break through
[02:40.47]And hold you endlessly
[02:46.57]At times I understand you
[02:50.40]And I know how hard you try
[02:54.38]I watched while love commands you
[02:58.32]And I've watched love pass you by
[03:02.32]At times I think we're drifters
[03:06.19]Still searching for a friend
[03:10.38]A brother or a sister
[03:13.80]But then the passion flares again
[03:20.51]And sometimes when we touch
[03:23.46]The honesty's too much
[03:27.73]And I have to close my eyes and hide
[03:36.27]I want to hold ya 'til I die
[03:39.72]'Til we both break down and cry
[03:44.05]I want to hold you 'til the fear in me subsides, subsides
