I Can’t Lose You
[ELSA]
Standing frozen in this life I've chosen
Please, don't find me, the past is all behind me
Leave me in the snow
Let me go
[ANNA, spoken]
No, Elsa wait! Don't go!
[ELSA, spoken]
I'm just trying to protect you
[ANNA, spoken]
You don't have to protect me. I'm not afraid!
[ELSA, spoken]
What do you want, Anna?
[ANNA]
This. Just you and I talking
And chatting, and taking up space
And you. You look so at peace
Which I did not predict after all that took place
I'm so sorry. I didn't know, I couldn't see
I knew you were hiding, but selfishly thought
You were hiding from me
That's why I've come all this way
To look in your eyes and say
I can't lose you, not again
I can't lose you like then
If you could see yourself the way I do
Then you'd see why I can't lose you
[ELSA]
Wait! I'm happy you came
But it's not safe to stay here and talk
Don't get close, this is all so brand new
Let me first learn to crawl before I try to walk
I'm at home here. Out in the cold, up in the air
But it all turns to chaos near people I love
And with how much I care
Please don't remind me to feel
Believe me, the danger is real
[BOTH]
I can't lose you, not again
I can't lose you like then
[ELSA]
You don't know the things that I can do
Keep your distance 'cause I can't lose-
(ANNA: ... I can't lose-)
[ANNA]
You have to listen. I've come here to tell you
That everything's different now that I understand
[ELSA]
I know you mean well, but the air's getting colder
Just leave me alone. Let me get this in hand
[ANNA]
But I'm here for you. We can fix this together
For once try to trust me. I'm begging you now
[ELSA]
Don't you see I'm the storm? And you make it worse?
I would fix it, but I don't know how...!
[BOTH]
I can't lose you, try to see
[ANNA]
Why can't you turn to me?
[ELSA]
I'm trying to tell you that
[BOTH]
I can't lose you, like before
[ELSA]
As much as I wish, I could open that door
[ANNA]
Why can't you open that door?
[BOTH]
If you loved yourself the way I do
Then you'd see why I can't lose you!
