Lyrics
You ask me if I love you
The speaker is questioned about their love.
And I choke on my reply
They struggle to respond, feeling choked or overwhelmed.
I'd rather hurt you honestly
They prefer to honestly hurt the person than deceive with lies.
Than mislead you with a lie
Choosing truth over dishonesty to avoid misleading.
And who am I to judge you
The speaker refrains from judging the person's actions or words.
On what you say or do?
They acknowledge their limited understanding of the person.
I'm only just beginning to know and feel you
Expressing a gradual process of getting to know and connect emotionally.
And sometimes when we touch
Describing overwhelming emotional honesty in their interactions.
The honesty's too much
The intensity of honesty becomes too much to handle.
And I have to close my eyes and hide
The speaker feels the need to close their eyes to shield themselves.
I wanna hold you til I die
Expressing a desire to hold the person close until death.
Til we both break down and cry
Implies an emotional breakdown and shared vulnerability.
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Desiring to hold the person until the speaker's fear diminishes.
Romance and all its strategy
Reflecting on the complexities of romance and its challenges.
Leaves me battling with my pride
Struggling with pride while navigating romantic feelings.
But through the insecurity
Despite insecurities, some tenderness and affection persist.
Some tenderness survives
Expressing the survival of affection despite uncertainties.
I'm just another writer
Describing oneself as a writer trapped in their truth.
Still trapped within my truth
Feeling confined within personal truths and experiences.
A hesitant prize fighter
Comparing oneself to a hesitant prizefighter, still affected by youth.
Still trapped within my youth
Feeling trapped or influenced by past experiences.
And sometimes when we touch
Reiterating the overwhelming honesty in their interactions.
The honesty's too much
Emphasizing the intensity of honesty, leading to discomfort.
And I have to close my eyes and hide
Feeling the need to shield themselves from the overwhelming emotions.
I wanna hold you til I die
Expressing a strong desire to hold the person until death.
Til we both break down and cry
Describing a shared emotional breakdown and vulnerability.
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Wanting to hold the person until their fear diminishes.
At times I'd like to break you
Expressing conflicting emotions of wanting to hurt and comfort.
And drive you to your knees
Feeling the desire to cause pain or emotional distress.
At times I'd like to break through
Expressing a longing to break barriers and offer endless support.
And hold you endlessly
Desiring to provide continuous comfort and support.
At times I understand you
Claiming some understanding of the person's struggles.
And I know how hard you've tried
Acknowledging the person's effort and difficulties in love.
I've watched while love commands you
Observing how love influences and directs the person.
And I've watched love pass you by
Seeing instances where love eludes or escapes the person.
At times I think we're drifters
Feeling like both are wanderers searching for companionship.
Still searching for a friend
Describing a shared search for friendship or kinship.
A brother or a sister
Comparing the desire for close relationships to sibling bonds.
But then the passion flares again
Despite searching, intense feelings arise again.
And sometimes when we touch
Reiterating the overwhelming honesty in their interactions.
The honesty's too much
Highlighting the intensity of honesty leading to discomfort.
And I have to close my eyes and hide
Feeling the need to shield themselves from overwhelming emotions.
I wanna hold you til I die
Expressing a strong desire to hold the person until death.
Til we both break down and cry
Describing a shared emotional breakdown and vulnerability.
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Wanting to hold the person until their fear diminishes.
