Crossing the Line
[RAPUNZEL]
This has to stop now
Whatever it is that you're going through
We'll fix it together, me and you
Just like we've always done

[CASSANDRA]
No! This has to stop now
This thing where you think that you've been my friend
And don't even hear how you condescend
The way you've always done

[RAPUNZEL AND (CASSANDRA)]
Cassandra, listen (I'm listening)
I know it isn't true (Isn't it?)
Just look into my eyes now (Well?)
I know you feel it too (Perhaps I do)
Cassandra, listen (I'm listening)
I swear it's not too late
So before another line gets crossed
And everything we've had is lost
Just... wait

[CASSANDRA]
Wait?
No, I won't wait
[RAPUNZEL]
(spoken)
Cass!

[CASSANDRA]
(sung)
There's a line between the winners and the losers
There's a line between the chosen and the rest
And I've done the best I could
But I've always known just where we stood
Me here with the luckless
You there with the blessed

And that line between the beggars and the choosers
Is a line you've never let me quite ignore
How I've tried to jump that great divide
But I've never got the chances you were given

You don't know how much I've been denied
Well, I'm not being patient anymore

I'm crossing the line!
And I'm done holding back
So look out, clear the track
It's my turn!
I'm taking what's mine!
Every drop, every smidge
If I'm burning a bridge
Let it burn
But I'm crossing the line!

And for us, if we're over
That's fine

[RAPUNZEL]
(spoken)
Cassandra! Wait!

[CASSANDRA]
(sung)
I'm crossing the line
