Olivia Ong - 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, in what you say or do  

I'm 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 want to hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry  

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides  

Romance and all its strategy, 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 is too much  

And I have to close my eyes and hide  

I want to hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry  

I want to 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 try  

I watched while love commands you, and I've watched love pass you by  

At times I think were 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 want to hold you till I die, till we both break down and cry  

I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
