Sometimes When We Touch
Embracing Truth in Love's Touch
Lyrics
You ask me if I love you and I choke on my reply.
You ask me if I love you and I struggle to respond.
I'd rather hurt you honestly than mislead you with a lie.
I prefer to hurt you truthfully than deceive you with a falsehood.
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do?
I don't have the right to judge you for your words or actions.
I'm only just beginning to see the real you.
I am just starting to understand who you really are.
And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much,
Intimacy sometimes brings overwhelming honesty.
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
The honesty is too much, so I close my eyes and withdraw.
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry.
I want to embrace you until death, even if it leads to tears.
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides.
I want to hold you until the fear in me diminishes.
Romance and all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride.
Romance and its games challenge my pride.
But through the insecurity, some tenderness survives.
Despite insecurities, some tenderness survives in our relationship.
I'm just another writer still trapped within my truths;
I'm a writer trapped in my own truths.
A hesitant prizefighter still trapped within my youth.
I'm like a hesitant prizefighter still bound by my youth.
And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much,
Intimacy brings too much honesty at times.
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
The overwhelming honesty makes me close my eyes and hide.
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry.
I want to embrace you until death, even if it leads to tears.
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides.
I want to hold you until the fear within me subsides.
At times I'd like to break you and drive you to your knees.
There are moments I want to break you and bring you to your knees.
At times I'd like to break through and hold you endlessly.
Other times, I want to break through and hold you endlessly.
At times I understand you, and I know how hard you've tried.
There are times I understand you, knowing how hard you've tried.
I've watched while love commands you, and I've watched love pass you by.
I've witnessed love guiding you and observed love passing you by.
At times I think we're drifters, still searching for a friend,
At times, I feel like we are wanderers searching for companionship.
A brother or a sister. But then the passion flares again.
Seeking a brother or a sister, yet passion reignites.
And sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much,
Intimacy sometimes brings overwhelming honesty.
And I have to close my eyes and hide.
The honesty is too much, so I close my eyes and withdraw.
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry.
I want to embrace you until death, even if it leads to tears.
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides.
I want to hold you until the fear in me diminishes.
