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
Romance and all  its strate-gy

Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity

Some tenderness  sur vives
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 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  drive  you to  your knees
At times I'd like to bre ak  through

And hold you end less ly
Romance and all it's  strategy

Leaves me battling 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  with in 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
