Luigi:

This has to stop now

Whatever it is that you're going through,

we'll fix it together - me and you

Just like we've always done

Daisy:

No! This has to stop now

This thing where you think that you've been my friend

And don't even hear how you condescend

The way you've always done

Luigi: Daisy, listen

Daisy: I'm listening

Luigi: I know it isn't true

Daisy: Isn't it?

Luigi: Just look into my eyes now

Daisy: Well?

Luigi: I know you feel it too

Daisy: Perhaps I do

Luigi: Daisy, listen

Daisy: I'm listening

Luigi: I swear it's not too late

So before another line gets crossed

and everything we've had is lost

just wait...

Daisy:

Wait? No, I won't wait.

(Instrumental bridge)

There's a line between the winners and the losers

There's a line between the chosen and the rest

And I've done the best I could

But I've always known just where we stood

Me here with the luckless

You there with the blessed

And that line between the beggars and the choosers

is a line you never let me quite ignore

How I've tried to jump that great divide!

But I've never got the chances you were given

You don't know how much I've been denied

Well, I'm not being patient anymore

I'm crossing the line!

And I'm done holding back

So look out, clear the track, it's my turn!

I'm taking what's mine

Every drop, every smidge

If I'm burning a bridge, let it burn!

But I'm crossing the line...

As for us, if we're over, that's fine...

I'm crossing the line
