![]() Tekst: Dan Hill / Muziek: Barry Mann (1996) ![]() You asked 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 In 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 wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides ![]() Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride But through all the insecurity Some tenderness survives I’m just another writer Still trapped within my truth A hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth ![]() 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 wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides ![]() At times I’d like to break you And drive you to your knees At times I’d like to break through And hold you endlessly ![]() At times I understand you And I know how hard you try I watched while love commands you And I’ve watched love pass you by At times I think we’re drifters Still searching for a friend A brother or a sister But then the passion flares again ![]() 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 wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides Subsides, ohohoh ![]() |
