[Verse 1]
You ask me if I love you
I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
Who am I to judge you
Or what you say or do?
When I'm only just beginning
To see the real you

[Chorus]
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
That I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til the feelings subside

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
That I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til the feelings subside

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
That I have to close my eyes and hide
'Cause I wanna hold you 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'til the feelings subside
