Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You leave me standing in your kitchen frozen.

"Fuck You. Leave me the hell alone"

You knew that would get me. You're smart; you know that the simplicity in those few words reflects the conclusion of our relationship. What you don't realize is that I am smart too. You are doing what you always do Sharpay, you are pushing me away because I am getting to close. Your actions only encourage me more, because now I know I am close. I am almost in your heart.

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

I try to find you at school but it's to no avail, everyone stares at me but I really couldn't give a shit. I hear yelling, I hear someone yelling at you. I try to intervene and help you but as usual you don't let me. You don't have to always be strong, you built me up so I can be strong for you again Sharpay, please let me.


Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

I try to talk to you after the altercation but you run away. It doesn't matter how many pills I've taken or how out of shape I am, you will never be able to out run me Sharpay, especially not when you're wearing those heals.


And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I ignore everyone as they try to talk to me as I chase you, they don't matter, no not anymore only you do.


We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

I catch you and throw you over my shoulder; I hear you screaming about the dress you're wearing and your underwear so I wrap my arms around your butt, hiding anything there would be to see.


Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

I carry you to the music room, to the location of our last knock down drag out fight. You are still screaming, I ask you if you are going to listen which leads you to more screaming and now some kicking works itself into the mix.


And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I find a chair and sit you down. I barricade the door then ask calmly if you would just hear me out. You stare, I take that as a yes.

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...

I tell you how I know that you are scared because I am getting close to you, and how tired I am of fighting with you every other minute. I tell you that I will wait until forever for you. I tell you that you are the reason I was into the musical, that you are the reason I started to sing long ago.

"All I ever wanted was to sing our song for you."


Where are we now?
I've still got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...

I tell you that I will not move out of your house. I tell you how wrong it is for you to live there alone with Ryan who is never there anymore. I tell you how concerned I am that you feel the need to hide behind your Ice Queen facade, because I know that is not you. The real Sharpay is sharp, witty, a ball-buster even; but not a bitch…I know that you are not a bitch.


And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I hold you in my arms look you in the eyes and reveal my not so secret secret.

"I love you Sharpay Evans, I always have, always will."


Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
