Jonathan Larson
Goodbye Love (Workshop)
[MIMI]
You said that you were
Leaving town last week
[ROGER]
You said that Benny was the most disgusting
Yuppie scum on the Earth
[BENNY]
You said you'd never speak to him again
[MIMI]
Not now
[MAUREEN]
Who said that you have any say in who she says things to at all?
[ROGER]
Yeah!
[JOANNE]
You said you'd stick to your own problems
[MAUREEN]
You said you'd give me some space
[JOANNE]
Maureen, we have this fight each night
[MARK]
Calm down!
[JOANNE]
Why can't you admit you need me?
[MARK]
Everyone, please!
[MIMI]
He's the same way he's always
Run away, hit the road, don’t commit, you're full of shit
[JOANNE]
She’s in denial
[MIMI]
He’s in denial
[MARK]
Guys!
[JOANNE]
Didn’t give an inch when I gave a mile
[MIMI]
I gave a mile
[ROGER]
When you weren't trash
[MARK & BENNY]
C’mon guys, chill
[JOANNE & MIMI]
I’d be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had
[MAUREEN]
Don't give up Joanne
I live for you
[JOANNE & MIMI]
Someone to live for
Unafraid to say “I love you”
[ROGER]
All your words are nice Mimi
But love's not a one way street
You’ll never share real love until you love yourself
I should know
[COLLINS]
You all said you’d be cool tonight
So please for my sake
I can’t believe he’s gone
I can’t believe you’re going
[ALL]
I can’t believe this is goodbye
[MARK]
I hear there are great restaurants out West
[ROGER]
Some of the best, how could she?
[MARK]
How could you let her go?
[ROGER]
You just don't know
How could we lose Angel?
[MARK]
Maybe you'll see why
If you face up to your pain
At least now if you try
Angel's death won't be in vain
[ROGER]
His death is in vain
[MARK]
Use your right brain
There's so much to care about
There's me, there's Mimi
[ROGER]
Mimi's got her baggage too
[MARK]
So do you
[ROGER]
I don't know what I am
What I know, what to do
[MARK]
Who does?
[ROGER]
Oh god Mark, don't you?
[MARK]
"Mark has got his work", they say
"Mark lives for his work and
Mark's in love with his work"
Mark hides in his work
[ROGER]
From what?
[MARK]
From facing my failure
Facing my loneliness
Facing the fact I live a lie
[ROGER]
You don't live a lie, tell you why
You've never finished your film cause the standards
You set for yourself are too high
But the fact remains you're the one of us
With the talent and the drive
The fact remains, Mark
You're the one to survive
[MARK]
I know
I'm afraid the burn's gonna make me crack
[ROGER]
If it does
Just let me know, I'll come back
[MARK]
Why is it easier to return to a friend
Than to burn with a lover 'til the end?
[ROGER]
Not as much to lose
[MARK]
Mimi still loves Roger
Mimi's just with Benny because
Mimi's getting weak
[ROGER]
Mimi did look pale
[MARK]
Mimi's gotten thin
Mimi's running out of time
Roger's running out the door
[ROGER]
No more, oh no, I've gotta go
[MARK]
Anything you need in Santa Fe?
[ROGER]
I'll be fine
Make your film
[MARK]
Okay
Love you
Call
[ROGER]
Love you too
You heard?
[MIMI (ROGER)]
Every word
You don't want baggage
Without lifetime guarantees
You don't want to watch me die
I just came to say goodbye love
Goodbye love, came to say goodbye love
Goodbye
Just came to say
Goodbye love (Right brain)
Goodbye love (I need to find my right brain)
Goodbye love, goodbye (I lost my map)
Goodbye love, goodbye love
Came to say goodbye love, goodbye
Just came to say goodbye love
Goodbye love, goodbye love
Goodbye love, hello, disease
