The representation shows jacks mom holding a baby Jack as she sings a lullaby

Bella:
Hush, little one, let me sing you to sleep
Moonlight has come, now, drift off to a dream
Sail from the day to the wonders awaiting you out there
In the deep
Off little one, chase the wind on the waves
Adventure is calling, so go and be brave
But if you get lost as you're tossed in the dark of the sea
Look for me
I will wait at the shore for you
I will weather each storm standing by 'til
Safe, you return from the night
My love is a lighthouse
So darling, my darling
Look for the light (jacks sister: light)
The light (jacks sister: the light, the light)

Bella/jacks sister:
I will wait at the shore for you
I will weather each storm

Bella:
standing by 'til (jacks sister: standing by 'til)
Safe, you return from the night (jacks sister: safe, you return from the night)

Bella:
My love is a lighthouse
So darling, my darling
Look for the light
The light

Jack: trying to provide for us. why can't you see that?!

Lizzy: Cause you're turning into someone else you're not the Jack I fell in love with.

Jack: then why don't you just leave!

Lizzy was heart broken she began to sing

Lizzy:
When we first met, your heart was free
Your hopeful eyes saw only me
Now you're looking for something
Something I can never be
When you are really all I need

Lizzy:
You keep on telling me "later"
But later never comes around
Please stop telling me later
As you search for what just can't be found

Lizzy:
Take my hand
Come with me now and we'll fly free
No more later, we both know that's a lie
Don't let this be the day I say
Goodbye
Goodbye

The Jack representation turns to scold only for them both to freeze as the real Jack takes his representation's place

Jack:
When you met her, you were set free
Her love for you was plain to see
You kept looking for something
A measure of security
But she was really all you need

Jack:
You kept on telling her "later"
But later never comes around
Please stop telling her later
Stop searching for what can't be found

Jack:
Take her hand
Go with her now and you'll fly free
No more later, we both know that's a lie
This will be the day she says
(Jack falls to his knees)
Goodbye (Lizzy: goodbye)
Goodbye (Lizzy: goodbye)

Lizzy: Goodbye Jack.

Lizzy walks out the door as Jack sits on his knees crying

Jack: and I never saw her again. After I lost her I changed myself I became better got clean sober found a better place to work then one day when I tried saving a woman from a thief I was shot. I wound up in heaven where I spent all my time trying to help winners adjust to heaven. But I found out about a plot to overthrow the seraphim Lux was going to bring them down and take over but he could let me warn them so her framed me for a seraphim's death and had me executed but I escaped to hell. I built myself back up as the cosmic demon.
