Sometimes When We Touch

You ask me if I love you

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

When I'm only just beginning

To see the real you?

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much

That 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 with all its strategy

Leaves me battling with my pride

And through the insecurity

Some tenderness survives

I'm just another writer

Still trapped within my truth

A hesitant prize fighter

Still trapped within his youth

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much

That 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

Oh, at times I want to break you

And drive you to your knees

At times I want to break through

And hold you endlessly

Ah, sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much

That I have to close my eyes and hide

'Cause I wanna hold you 'til I die

'Til we both break down and cry

I wanna hold you 'til the fear in me subsides
