intro
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
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 want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.
Romance in all its strategy has me battling with my pride
But though the insecurity some tenderness survies
Im just another writer still trapped with in my truths
A hesitant prize fighter still trapped with in my youth.
And sometimes when we touch the honestys too much
and I have to close my eyes, and hide
I wanna hold you till I die till we both breakdown, and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times Id like to hold you and drive you to your knees
at times Id like to break through, and hold you endlessly
at times I understand you, and I know how hard you try
Ive watched while love commands you and Ive watched love pass you by
At times I think were drifters, still searching for a friend
a brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again.
Repeat chorus.

intro [D] [D/G] [D/A] [D]
You [D]ask me if I [D/G]love you, and I [D/A]choke on my r[D]eply.
I'd r[F#m]ather hurt you h[Bm]onestly, than m[E]islead you with a l[A]ie
And w[Em]ho am I to ju[A]dge you on w[D]hat you say or d[Bm]o
I'[G]m only just b[F#]egi[D]nning to s[E]ee the re[F#]al yo[A]u.
An[D]d sometimes when we [D/G]touch. The [A]honesty's too [F#m]much
An[Bm]d I have [E]to close my eyes, and h[A]ide.
I wan[D]na hold you till I d[D/G]ie, till we bo[A]th break down, an[F#]d c[A]ry.
I want[Em] to hold you till the fe[A]ar in me su[D]bsides.
Ro[D]mance in all its s[D/G]trategy has me ba[D/A]ttling with my p[D]ride
[F#m]But though the i[Bm]nsecurity some t[E]enderness su[A]rvies
Im [Em]just another w[A]riter still tr[D]apped with in my [Bm]truths
A hes[G]itant prize [F#]fig[D]hter still trapp[E]ed [F#]with in my [A]youth.
And[D] sometimes when w[D/G]e touch the ho[A]nestys too m[F#m]uch
an[Bm]d I have[E] to close my eyes, and h[A]ide
I wa[D]nna hold you till I [D/G]die till we b[A]oth breakdown, [F#]an[A]d cry
I wan[Em]na hold you till the f[A]ear in me su[D]bsides
At t[A]imes Id like to hold[A] you and driv[A]e you to your [D]knees
at [Bm]times Id like to br[F#m]eak through, and ho[G]ld you end[A]lessly
at t[D]imes I understa[D/G]nd you, and I[D/A] know how hard you [D]try
Ive [F#m]watched while lo[Bm]ve commands you and Ive [E]watched love pass you [A]by
At ti[Em]mes I think were d[A]rifters, still s[D]earching for a f[Bm]riend
a br[G]other or a si[F#]st[D]er, but then the[E] passion [F#]flares [A]again.
Repeat chorus.
