sometimes when we touch

Thomas Anders

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 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 within my youth

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
