Gotta Go My Own Way

GABRIELLA:

Troy – listen…

I gotta say what’s on my mind.

Something about us, doesn’t seem right… these days.

Life keeps getting in the way.

Whenever we try, somehow the plan is always rearranged.

It’s so hard to say,

but I gotta do what’s best for me.

You’ll be okay…

I’ve got to move on, and be who I am.

I just don’t belong here,

I hope you understand.

We might find our place in this world someday,

but at least for now,

I gotta go my own way.

Don’t wanna leave it all behind.

But I get my hopes up and I watch them fall every time.

Another color turns to grey.

And it’s just too hard… to watch it all… slowly fade away.

I’m leaving today

cause I gotta do what’s best for me.

You’ll be okay…

I’ve got to move on, and be who I am.

I just don’t belong here,

I hope you understand.

We might find our place in this world someday,

but at least for now,

I gotta go my own way.

TROY:

What about us?

What about everything we’ve been through?

GABRIELLA:

What about trust?

TROY:

You know I never wanted to hurt you.

GABRIELLA:

What about me?

TROY:

What am I supposed to do…….

GABRIELLA:

I gotta leave but I’ll miss you

TROY:

…miss you.

GABRIELLA LEAD, TROY AD-LIBS

So I’ve got to move on, and be who I am.

(Troy: why do you have to go)

I just don’t belong here,

I hope you understand.

(Troy: trying to understand)

We might find our place in this world someday,

but at least for now,

(Troy: I want you to stay)

I gotta go my own way.

I’ve got to move on, and be who I am.

(Troy: what about us?)

I just don’t belong here,

I hope you understand.

(Troy: trying to understand)

We might find our place in this world someday.

but at least for now,

I gotta go my own way.

I’ve gotta go my own way,

I’ve gotta go my own way.
