Safety Net

I feel so much hope

Just looking at your face

Yet I always have this fear

That it’s misplaced

I try not to overthink

So much could go wrong

But I know I’m idealizing

That’s the point of this song

What am I supposed to do

When I think about you everyday

When all I can think is

How easily you could stray

I am devoted

One hundred percent

I just don’t want to be demoted

In the end

I can put up with a lot

My patience never wavers

I just didn’t expect

You to ask for so many favors

I’m aware

It may always be one sided

But be aware

I’m not good at hiding it

You read me like a book

Or so you say

Which is great and all

Until you use it your way

So the next time you need me

Don’t forget

I may always be there for you

But I am not your safety net
