I Can't {Theatrical Version}

🎧Boy Singing

[Turns to face the girl]

Don't you know how the beast inside me wants to hurt?
To scar you and bruise you for all you're worth?

🎤Girl Singing

[Barely whispers the words, not opening her eyes]

Don't you know how much I care?
Or else, I would have left you there.

🎧Boy Singing

[Expression shifts to hatefulness]

But you left me anyway;
Tried to throw yourself to death, only yesterday.
Why can't you see;
With who I am, we can never be.

🎤Girl Singing

[Tries to reason softly]

I can't live, wrapped in chains;

🎧Boy Singing

[Raises his free hand to strike her]

Then, we'll do this the hard way.

[Looks in horror at what he was going to do, and lowers his arm]

Just leave me be, I can't escape;
The demon inside, I can't tolerate.
I can't do this, my time passed by;
I can't do this, I'm broken inside.

[Pulls away from her, breaking her delicate hold on his wrist, and runs out of the room]

🎤Girl Singing

[Opens eyes gently, and a few tears leak out]

And when you slip away;
That's when I cry.
