i wish i was there
when you're haveing a nightmare
so i could hold you
until you woke up, and knew it wasn't real

i wish i was there
when you're about to cut your skin
so i could still your hand,
look you in the eye, until you realised you don't need to

i wish i was there
when your parents are screaming at you
so i could stand behind you
support you, and make sure you know you're loved

i wish i was there
when tears are streaming down your cheeks in despair
so i could gently wipe them away
tell you i love you and everything's going to be okay

i wish you were here
when i need you to
hold me during a nightmare
still my shaking hands
stand behind me
wipe my tears away
and love me
