[Gabriella]

Troy! Listen

I gotta say what's on my mind

Something about us

Doesn't seem right these days

Life keeps getting in the way

Whenever we try

Somehow the plan is always rearranged

It's so hard to say

But I gotta do what's best for me

You'll be okay

I've got to move on and be who I am

I just don't belong here

I hope you understand

We might find our place in this world someday

But at least for now

I gotta go on my own way

Don't wanna leave it all behind

But I get my hopes up

And I watch then fall every time

Another color turns to grey

And it's just too hard to watch it all

Slowly fade away

I'm leaving today

'Cause I've gotta do what's best for me

You'll be okay

I've got to move on and be who I am

I just don't belong here

I hope you understand

We might find our place in this world someday

But at least for now

I gotta go on my own way

[Troy]

What about us?

What about everything we've been through?

[Gabriella]

What about trust?

[Troy]

You know I never wanted to hurt you!

[Gabriella]

And what about me?

[Troy]

What am I supposed to do?

[Gabriella]

I gotta leave but

[Troy & Gabriella]

I'll miss you!

[Gabriella]

Ooh, oh

[Gabriella]

So

I've got to move on and be who I am!

[Troy]

Why do you have to go?

[Gabriella]

I just don't belong here

I hope you understand

[Troy]

I'm trying to understand!

[Gabriella]

We might find our place

In this world someday

But at least for now

[Troy]

I want you to stay!

[Gabriella]

I've gotta go my own way!

[Gabriella]

I've got to move on and be who I am

[Troy]

What about us?

[Gabriella]

I just don't belong here

I hope you understand

[Troy]

I'm trying to understand

[Gabriella]

We might find our place

In this world someday (world someday)

But at least for now

[Gabriella]

I gotta go my own way

I gotta go my own way

I gotta go my own way
