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 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 you
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, 'til 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 truth
You're a hesitant prize fighter, still trapped within your youth
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, 'til 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, 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 flares again
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, 'til the fear in me subsides
I wanna hold you, 'til the fear in me subsides
