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 l...
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 l...
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
Cos you know I'm here to take that call
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall
But l...
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

Tara:
I'm under your spell
God, how can this be?
Playing with my memory
You know I've been through hell
Willow, don't you see?
There'll be nothing left of me
You made me
Tara: Believe
Giles: Believe me, I don't wanna go
Together:
And it'll grieve me cos I love you so
But we both know
Giles: Wish I could say the right words
Tara: Wish I could trust that it was
Giles: To lead you through this land
Tara: Just this once, but I must do
Giles: Wish I could play the father
Tara: What I must. I can't adjust to this
Giles: And take you by the hand
Tara: Disgust, we're done and I just
Together:
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay
Wish I could stay
Wish I could
Stay
