A Romantic Musical Love Never Dies the Musical - Please Miss Giry, I Want to Go Back Lyrics
Gustave: Please Miss Giry I want to go back, I want my mother
Meg: The world is hard, the world is mean It's hard to keep your conscience clean
Gustave: (spoken) Please, you're hurting me
Meg: The sea is calm, the sea is grey It washes everything away
Gustave: (spoken) I can't swim!
Meg: (spoken) Don't worry, it's almost over
Meg: Sink into the deep Blue, and cool, and kind Then drift off sleep Let the past unwind Leave the hurt behind
Christine: (spoken) Gustave!
Gustave: (spoken) Mother!
Meg: (spoken) No, I'm not done yet
Phantom: (spoken) Let go of the boy, now!
Meg: Not another step
Phantom: (spoken) Let go of him, girl, or I promise you-
Meg: Not another word Always wondered how to make you watch Well, watch me now!
I took a little trip to Coney Island I took a little trip because of you I did as mother said, and followed where you led And tried to do what little I could do
Well here's the way it works on Coney Island They make you pay for every little crumb I gave what they would take I gave it for your sake Now look at me, and see what I've become
Bathing Beauty on the beach Bathing Beauty in her dressing room Bathing Beauty in the dark, On their laps, in their arms, in their beds
Madame Giry: Meg, my little Meg
Phantom: What are you saying?
Meg: Who helped you raise the money Who helped the permits come through Who greased the wheels of your high flying deals Bought you time when the bills came due
Who swayed the local bosses Carried favor with the press (Scoffing) No, not her
And who kept singing, desperate for your favor Who kept dancing, hoping you would save her Who kept dying, and this is what you gave her
Now that I've got your attention at last Here's the big finish and then you can go
(Meg pulls out gun and then points it to her head)
Phantom: Give me the gun, Meg Give me the hurt, and the pain, and the gun Meg Give me the blame for not seeing the things that you've done Meg Give me the gun, Meg Give me the chance to see you clear at last
Meg: See me clear at last
Phantom: You feel ugly, you feel used You feel broken, you feel bruised Ah, but me, I can see all the beauty underneath
Meg: Yes
Phantom: You've been robbed of love and pride Been ignored and pushed aside Even so, I still know there is beauty underneath
Meg: Yes
Phantom: Diamonds never sparkle bright If they aren't set just right Beauty sometimes goes unseen We can't all be like Christine
(Phantom royally screws up and Meg gets upset)
Meg: Christine, Christine, always Christine!
(Meg shoots Christine)
Meg: No! I didn't mean to Mother Dear! Say something, say anything!
Phantom: (holding Christine) Giry, go get help! Go!
Gustave: (spoken) Where's papa, he should be here! Where's papa?!
Christine: (spoken) Your father, your real father
Christine: Look with your heart And not with your eyes The heart understands The heart never lies Believe what it feels And trust what it shows Look with your heart The heart always knows Love is not always beautiful Not at the start
Gustave: So open your heart
Christine: And close your eyes tight
Gustave: Look with your heart
Christine: And when you find love
(Christine faints and Gustave thinks she's died)
Gustave: No!
(Gustave runs away)
Phantom: Once upon another time, our story had only begun I had a taste of joy, the most I've ever knew Now there isn't any time, and somehow our story is done And what about the boy, what am I to do
Christine: Just love Just live And give what you can give And take the love that you deserve
Phantom + Christine: Just love Just live
Phantom: I'll give all that I have And take what little I deserve
Christine: Come closer, I beg you Closer still Remember, love never dies Kiss me one last time
(Phantom and Christibe kiss, Christine dies, Gustave comes back and accepts the Phantom in all his ugly glory and I'm a crying mess)
