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's 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 it's 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's 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 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 want to hold ya till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsidesi still cant decipher all of this song, guess i havent gone through enough. lol anyway, i dunno. was just blog-hopping and saw this on the blog of a girl trapped within a failed relationship, struck right in the heart by this piece of lyric. yea, humans, so complex and troublesome. but then again, imagine living with a mind of rigid nothingness, a heart of hollow emptiness.
it pains my heart to see people trapped within their circumstances, especially relationships. when famine or earthquake comes, or even just failing your exams, its so easy to turn towards a divine supernatural. why then do people stay trapped and slowly killed within their own thorned cage of memories?
so i guess, emotions are that powerful, memories that relentless. not that i havent experienced it, just that after getting through it, i cant remember how it felt. well then again, i prayed for it. LOL.
yes, memories can kill and the pathetic thing is people want to get tortured by it because they loved or got hurt too much. because they think its become a part of them and tearing it away with their own hands hurts more than staying in it. either that or they just cant face reality.
to get out of it, i guess they got to either experience love or hurt double of that. if they pick hurt, well then it'll take another hurt of maybe 30 fold to get them out of it, and the cycle continues. so what better way than to pick love, and what better love than one that's unfailing, everlasting?
i guess thats why our heavenly father wants the gospel to be preached, and sent his son to reveal how much He can save us and pick us up when the world falls down. so people! lets not be selfish anymore!
the world needs the love of God. we dont have to go to africa just to be an evangelist or missionary. lets all start within our families. parents who've been hurt so terribly, weary from working so hard in life. siblings trapped within failed relationships, with no direction, filled with disillusionment and depression. lets impart the good news of jesus christ to these people. and then we can be assured that death cant do us apart, for when physical death comes, we'll be sons and daughters of the almighty, together with our father in heaven, where there's no more pain and darkness..
in the name of Jesus,
Amen :)
