257 ~ Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill

Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill 

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
When I am only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch the honesty is 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 with all its strategy leaves me battling with my pride
and through the insecurity some tenderness survived
I am just another writer still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize-fighter still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch the honesty is 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

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 is 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
