Sometimes When We Touch

LETRA

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 beginning 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 til I die, til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you til the fear in me subsides

Romancing all these strategies leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truths
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 til I die, til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you til the fear in me subsides

At times I’d like to break you and drag 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
I’ve watched while love commands you and I’ve watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister, but then the passion 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 til I die, til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you til the fear in me subsides
