Sometimes When We Touch

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 youAnd sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much

And I have to close my eyes and hide

I wanna hold you 'til I die, 'til we both break down and cry

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsidesRomance and all it's strategy leaves me battling with my pride

But through the insecurity some tenderness survives

I'm just another writer still trapped within my truth

A hesitant prize fighter still trapped within my youthAnd sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much

And I have to close my eyes and hide

I wanna hold you 'til I die, 'til we both break down and cry

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsidesAt times I'd like to break you and drive you to your knees

At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlesslyAt times I understand you and I know how hard you've tried

I've watched while love commands you, 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 againAnd sometimes when we touch the honesty's too much

And I have to close my eyes and hide

I wanna hold you 'til I die, 'til we both break down and cry

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides, oh
