Will: Ask me, Constance
Ask me anything
Tell me, Constance
Tell me what it is you need
Tell me
How can I help if I don’t know the cause?
I’m yours to dispose of
Don’t throw me away
Say something
I don’t know what to say
So say something, anything
Say something
Constance: I can’t
I can’t, Will
Please don’t ask
If I told you things would never be the same
Nothing ever changes
And that’s alright
If nothing ever changes
Will: Life is just easy, if it’s constantly the same
Dare to make choices
They’re there to be claimed
Courage isn’t careless, it’s not without fear
It’s facing the weather, embracing however you feel
It’s no use saying that you can’t
Not with the seeds I’ve seen you plant
What you are, all you’ve yet to be
We can go and find
Constance: You think it’s easy
To you it’s just a game
People have pieces
Why shouldn’t they play?
You can be careless
Do as you please
Break any tether, light as a feather, a leaf on a breeze
Ties can be broken, quick
Secrets are spoken, pick
Any path, and the aftermath
Always lies behind

Will: Tell the truth, if I could give you proof
Constance: If I could say
Both: Were I to let you know-
Will: Would you agree?
Constance: Would you refuse?
Will: All of the parts of me
Constance: The parts of me
Will: Feelings you’ve yet to see
Both: Hiding in honesty
Will: If you could stop and I could start
Constance: If I shall
Will: What would be if you could see-
Both: My heart
Constance: Beat and break, every guard, disregard barricades
W: Tell the truth, just say it and commit
Don’t admit I’m afraid
Constance: I’m the same
Anything
Will: Do begin, let them in
Constance: Play my hand
Both: Would you understand?
Will: Would you go?
Constance: Stay
Will: Don’t
Constance: Say
Both: We haven’t started yet
Tell the truth, if I could give you proof
Were I to let you in
Constance: Would you forgive?
Will: Would you believe?
Constance: All of the parts of me
Will: Parts of me
Constance: Things that you’re yet to see
Will: You’ve yet to see
Constance: We could have-
Both: Honesty
Constance: If I could stay
Will: If I could start
Both: What would be if you could see my heart?
[Spoken]
Will: Constance
Constance: Will
Will: Sorry
Constance: No, you first
Will: Look, you don’t have to tell me, but chances like this...they don’t come every day. It’s the city! You couldn’t ask for a better opportunity to show the world who you are-what you’re made of! Don’t let it pass you by, because it might not come again. We only get so much time, you’ve got to use it, otherwise you might as well just-
Constance: Just be a clock
Will: Yes! Just counting down the minutes until you stop. And, I suppose all that is the reason I wanted to tell you-what I mean is, is that I-I-
Constance: I have to go
