"Dream section" No. 5

I won't let you feel the pain that I brought into your life
I won't start to light a fire, no, I won't ever spin the knife
It's been killing me slowly and been causing all this strife
But involving you, that'd be acclaimed as a crime

I've been suffocating me, I'm in need of a repair
You've always held my hand while I was coming up for air
The fact that you're still here just shows how much you care
Do we call it a sin, that you're the one I refuse to share?

Tell me if my love has ever been in doubt
Were there any moments that I should have stopped?
In some of our conversations, the words still should be swapped
But I swear to God, I just wanted to make you feel loved

Forgive me when I stare, please don't take it as offence
Around you, my common sense ain't common, nor making sense
There may be some days when I'll build walls as defense
But there will be no fence that will persist in your presence

I won't bring you pain, no, I don't mean any harm
I promise I'll protect you when you'll be in my arms
Place your head upon my chest, slide your dear hands in my palms
Make me an empty promise, that there are no signs of alarms
