Romance and all its strategy leaves me batting with my pride
But through the insecurity , some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prizefighter 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've tried
I've watched while love commands you , and I've watched love pass you by
At time I think we're drifters , still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister , but then the passion flares again
