You ask me if I love you
   I choke on my reply
   I'd rather hurt you honestly
   Than mislead you with a lie
   And who am I to judge you
   Or what you say or do
   When I'm only just beginning
   To see the real you
  
   *And sometimes when we touch
   The honesty's too much
   That 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 feelings subside
  
   Romance with all its strategy
   Leaves me battling with my pride
   And through the insecurity
   Some tenderness abides
   I'm just another writer
   Still trapped within my truth
   A hesitant prize fighter
   Still trapped within his youth
  
   *repeat
  
   Oh at times I want to break you
   And drive you to your knees
   At times I want to Break through
   And hold you endlessly
  
   *repeat
