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

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 truths

And your hesitant prize fighter trapped within my 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

And I've watched love pass you by

And at times I think were 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
