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 for what you say I 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 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 battlin' with my pride

But through the insecurity some tenderness survives

I'm just another writer still trapped within my truths

And you're a hesitant prizefighter 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 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 the 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
