Note on this song: I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS VERY VERY CLEAR. EVERYTHING LLOYD SAYS IN THIS SONG IS EITHER QUOTING NYA OR MAKING SOMETHING UP TO MAKE JAY COME BACK TO THE NINJA TEAM. THIS IS NOT A LLOYDXJAY FANFIC. Thank You. Enjoy!
If I Could Tell Him (Originally Titled "If I Could Tell Her")
From "Dear Evan Hansen"
Jay sits in his dressing room and sighs as he looks at a picture of the ninja team.
Jay: Ninja never quit, huh, Zane?"
Lloyd: The team needs you now more than ever.
Jay turns around and gasps when he sees Lloyd jump in front of him.
Jay: How did you get in here?
Lloyd: I'm a ninja! And you are wearing makeup. He points at him with a smirk.
Jay: Hey, hey, hey it's concealer! He pulls out a makeup palette. A time-honored tool of the ninja. And what do you mean "team?" I refuse to fight beside Cole. There is nothing you can say that will get me back with that girl-stealing, black-hearted, rock-pounding-
Lloyd: Jay, He puts a hand on his shoulder. She still speaks of you. Music begins.
Lloyd:
She thinks that you're... awesome.
Jay:
She thinks that I'm awesome? Nya?
Lloyd:
Definitely!
Jay:
How?
Lloyd:
Well...
She says
There's nothing like your smile
It's so happy and silly and real
She says
You never knew how wonderful
That smile could make someone feel
And she knows
Whenever you get bored
You build robots and lots of cool things
And she noticed
That you still rip out the posters
That they put in those Starfarer magazines
But she keeps it all inside her head
What she sees she leaves unsaid
And though she wants to
She can't talk to you
She can't find the way
But I often hear her say
If I could tell him
Tell him everything I see
If I could tell him
How he's everything to me
But we're a million worlds apart
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell him
If I could tell him
Jay:
Did she say anything else?
Lloyd:
A..about you?
Jay:
Never mind, I don't really care anyways..
Lloyd:
No, no, no..just, no, no..she says..she says so many things, I'm just..I'm trying to remember the best ones. So, um..
She thought
You looked really cute, and uh...
It was pretty cool when you took her on that date to the fair
Jay:
She did?
Lloyd:
And she wonders how you can just talk
Like all the rest of the world isn't there
But she keeps it all inside her head
What she sees she leaves unsaid
If I could tell him
Tell him everything I see
If I could tell him
How he's everything to me
Lloyd and Jay:
But we're a million worlds apart
Lloyd:
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell him
If I could tell him
But what do you do when there's this great divide?
Jay:
She just seemed so far away
Lloyd:
And what do you do when the distance is too wide?
Jay:
It's like I don't know anything
Lloyd:
And how do you say
I love you?
I love you
I love you
Jay opens a drawer in his "makeup" table and pulls out an old photo of him and Nya.
Jay:
I love you
But we're a million worlds apart
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell her
If I could
Lloyd: You don't belong here Jay, this isn't you. You're the Master of Lightning, not the Master of Lighting!
Jay sits back down.
Lloyd: You know where I'll be if you change your mind. He leaves quickly and stealthily. Jay picks up a makeup brush and begins applying his "concealer." He pauses to stare at the brush for a moment, then throws it at his mirror reflection in frustration.
