I Try

I try to be the supportive person you need
Inside it kills me to see you hurt 
I don’t want to see you bleed 
You can’t always be alert 	
I can’t stop you from following your dreams 
You want me to have it all 
I find this all a little extreme
Somedays I feel ever so small 
I can’t be the one to hold you back
I want to be with you all the time 
I cringe at the first smack 
 I just want you to be only mine
