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 And who am I to judge you on what you say or do I'm only just beginnin' to see the real you And 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 truth A hesitant prize fighter, still trapped within my youth And 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'd like to break you and drive you to your knees At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly At times I understand you and I know how hard you've tried And I've watch while love commands you and I've watched love pa*s you by At times I think we're drifters, still searchin' for a friend A brother or a sister but then the pa*sion flares again And 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
