"Please, Miss Giry, I want to go back"

P= Phantom
C= Christine
G= Gustave
M= Meg

G: Please, Miss Giry, I want to go back. I want my mother.
M: The world is hard, the world is mean. It's hard to keep your conscience clean.
G: Please, you're hurting me!
M: The sea is calm, the sea is gray. It washes everything away.
G: I can't swim!
M: Don't worry, it's almost over. Sink into the deep, blue and cool and kind. Then drift off to sleep, let the past unwind. Leave the

hurt behind...
C: Gustave!
G: Mother!
M: No, I'm not done yet!
P: Let go of the boy now!
M: Not another step.
P: Let go of him, girl, or I promise you -
M: 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

Giry: Meg, my little Meg
P: What are you saying?

M: 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
Curried favor with the press
No, not her
And who kept singing, desperate for you favor
Who kept dancing, hoping you would save her
Who kept dying and this is what you gave her?

Now that I've got you attention at last
Here's the big finish and then you can go

P: 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
M: See me clear at last...
P: You feel ugly, you feel used, you feel broken, you feel bruised.
Ah, but me, I can see all the beauty underneath
M: Yes...
P: You've been robbed of love and pride
Been ignored and pushed aside
Even so, I still know thee is beauty underneath
M: Yes...
P: Diamonds never sparkle right
If they aren't set just right
Beauty sometimes goes unseen
We can't all be like Christine

M: Christine. CHRISTINE. Always Christine!
*gun shot*
M: No! I didn't mean to! Mother, there! Say something! Say anything!
P: Giry! Go get help! NOW!
G: Where's Papa? He should be here? Where's Papa?
C: Your father... your real father...
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
G: So open your arms
C: And close your eyes tight
G: Look with your heart
C: And when you find love (she's starting to struggle to talk)
G: NOOOOOOOO!

P: Once upon another time our story had only begun
I had a taste of joy, the most I ever knew
Now there isn't any time and somehow our story is done
And what about the boy? What am I to do?
C: Just love, just live
And give what we can give
And take the love that you deserve
Both: Just love, just live
And give...
P: All that I have
And take what little I deserve
C: Come closer, I beg you
Closer still
Remember love never dies
Kiss me one last time

*Christine dies, TIHYS melody plays*
