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...
You re 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...
(sus)
I m standing in the way.
The cries around you, you don t hear at all.
Cause 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.
(sus)
But I m standing in the way.
(sus)
I m just standing in the way.

Playing with my memory.
You know I ve been through hell.

There ll be nothing left of me.
