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 When I am only just beginning to see the real you And sometimes when we touch the honesty is too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I want to hold you till I die till we both break down and cry I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides Romance with all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride and through the insecurity some tenderness survived I am just another writer still trapped within my truth A hesitant prize-fighter still trapped within his youth And sometimes when we touch the honesty is too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I want to hold you till I die till we both break down and cry I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides At times I want to break you and drive you to your knees At times I want to break through and hold you endlessly And sometimes when we touch the honesty is too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I want to hold you till I die till we both break down and cry I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
