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...
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.
But I'm standing in the way.
I'm just standing in the way.

There'll be nothing left of me.
You made me
