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

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, your 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

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 truths

And your hesitant prize fighter, trapped within your youth

Sometimes when we touch, your 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 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

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, your 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

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
