Musicals - Love Never Dies - The Phantom Confronts Christine Lyrics
Gustave, it's alright, it's meGustave, please take him awayI'm so sorryPlease forgive him, he meant no harmHow could you think I wouldn't guess?What do you mean?How could you think I wouldn't know?Oh, noDo you have something to confess?Please don't make meI want the truth right now, if soOnce upon another timeYou went off and left me aloneBut that's not all you didYou left me with a sonEver since that other timeI wished, how I wished you'd have knownI kept the secret hid, the secret my marriage forbidWhat else could I have done?Just liveOur sonJust liveMy sonJust give what I could giveAnd take what little I deserveMy own flesh and bloodAnd even he recoils in horror from meJust like his motherForgive me, I beg you, if you canI've brought you nothing but woeTomorrow night, I'll sing with all my mightSing for you again, then we'll goFrom out of ugliness, such lightFrom out of darkness, such a flameIn him, my wrongness is made rightAnd yet he loathes me just the sameSo let him shun me in disgustLet him flee this cursed faceIf I must hide from him, I mustYet shall he be my saving graceOh, Christine, my ChristineIf it's true, I've no reason to liveThen, Christine, then our boyShall have all I can giveAh, ChristineAll I create on this earthAll that I'll never be worthAll shall be hisTen long years and he casts us asideTen whole years, this is how we're repaidTen dark years of toil and tearsAnd now what we've worked for will go to that childAll our hopes were at last in our graspAll the dreams and the plans that we laidEverything is vanishingAnd we get discarded, rejected, reviledAll of the bonds in between is now tornAll of the love that we gave him was wornAll would be oursIf that bastard had never been born
