Standing

Buffy - Once More, with Feeling - Standing

GILES

You're not ready 

for The World outside

You keep pretending, 

but you just can't hide

I know I said that I'd be 

standing by your side

But I...

Your path's unbeaten 

and it's all uphill

And you can meet it, 

but you never will

And I'm the reason that 

you're standing still

But I...

I wish I could say the right words 

to lead you through this land

Wish I could Play The Father 

and take you by the hand

Wish I could stay here

But now I understand....

I'm standing, in the way

The cries around you, 

you don't hear at all

'Cuz you know I'm 

here to take that call

So you just lie there when 

you should be standing tall

But I...

I wish I could lay 

your arms down

And let you rest at last

Wish I could slay 

your demons

But now that time has passed

Wish I could stay here, 

your stalwart, standing fast

But I'm standing in the way

I'm just standing in the way

BUFFY

Did you just say something ?
