Sometimes When We Touch Lyrics - Marty Robbins

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 till I die 

Till we both break down and cry 

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides 

Romance and all it's strategies, leaves me battling with my pride 

But through all the insecurity some tenderness survives 

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 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, I know how hard you try 

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 till I die 

Till we both break down and cry 

I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
