You Ask Me If I Love You 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 Who am I to judge you On what you say or do I'm only just beginning To see the real you Sometimes when we touch Your 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 wanna hold you Till the fear in me subsides Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride But through the insecurity Some tenderness survives I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truths And you're a hesitant price fighter Trapped within your youth Sometimes when we touch Your 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 wanna hold you Till the fear in me subsides At times I understand you And I know how hard you've tried I've watched while love commands you And I've watched love pass you by And at times I think we're drifters Searching for a friend A brother or a sister But then the passion marries again Sometimes when we touch Your 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 wanna hold you Till the fear in me subsides I wanna hold you Till the fear in me subsides
