A classic example of how a comma can change meaning. There's a big difference between

I'd rather hurt you honestly

and

I'd rather hurt you, honestly

Hi, Thompson - Like I said, the lyrics I posted were not vetted. I usually don't spend a whole lot of time on pop songs. I would think it would be better without the comma, have deleted the comma and checked the rest of the lyrics. They should be pretty accurate now.

SOMETIMES WHEN WE TOUCH
(Dan Hill)

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

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

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've tried
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 'til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you
'Til the fear in me subsides

It's by the Canadian singer/songwriter Dan Hill and it was a hit back in the 70's, at least in Canada. It's called "Sometimes When We Touch" and the line you quote is from the chorus.
