[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till I die
Until we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
[Verse 2]
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another singer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
[Chorus]
[Outro][repeat until fade]
I want to hold you till I die
Until we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
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
[Chorus]
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I want to hold you till I die
Until we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
[Verse 2]
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another singer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
[Chorus]
[Outro][repeat until fade]
I want to hold you till I die
Until we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
