Going Through the Motions

Buffy:
Every single night, the same arrangement,
I go out and fight the fight.
Still I always feel the same estrangement,
Nothing here is real, nothing here is right.

I've been making shows of trading blows,
Just hoping no-one knows
That I've been going throught the motions,
Walking throught the part.
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart.

I was always brave and kind of rightous,
Now I find I'm wavering.
Crawl out of your grave,
You find this fight, just doesn't mean a thing,-

Vampire:
She aint' got that swing.

Buffy:
Thanks for noticing.

Vampires:
She does pretty well with fiends from hell,
But lately we can tell that
She's just going through the motions
Faking it somehow.

Demon:
She's not even half the girl she...ow!

Buffy:
Will I stay this way forever,
Sleepwalk through my life's endeveour-

Guy:
How can I repay-

Buffy:
-Whatever,
I don't wanna be...

Going through the motions,
Losing all my drive,
I can't even see,
If this is really me,
And I just wanna be...
Alive...
