Pretty sure that's from a Sherlock fic, and that is a lovely line! It really does fit Erik here, where he just feels everything too strongly to cope.

I've always thought, actually, that under his steel exterior is somebody who is too sensitive, rather than insensitive, to feelings and situations, which is why he reacts so strongly to everything. He's lashing out before he can be hurt, and pretending that he can't be.

Erik just can't bear the thought of losing the one and only person he has left, even though he knows it's not right. The thought of Charles dying is worse, to him, than the thought of Charles being unhappy, at least at the moment. Because you can get better from being unhappy, but you don't get better from dying, and Erik knows he's being selfish, but. He can't stop himself.
