Lost Your Way
(To the tune of BtVS' "Standing.")
HOUSE:
I can see your guilty conscience burn:
A line has been crossed, and you can't return.
This lesson is one you shouldn't have had to learn,
And I…
I fired you and find myself impressed:
You've grown more backbone than I could have guessed.
But even though you acted for the best,
I still…
See the signs of self-destruction, and every sleepless night—
I see your marriage breaking; the strain that it can't fight;
I see the pain that's building to a height
And know you've lost your way.
You're living what no one should have to live:
All you've built, now water through a sieve.
Let that be enough penance, and yourself forgive.
If I…
I'm not meant to play the father or be the steady hand.
You need help I can't give you: listen and understand
Your enemy is your own countermand
That is standing in your way.
(Wish I could help find your way.)
