Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Standing lyrics

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 to me, called Buffy??
