Ashes of my Youth Lyrics by Matt Vinson, Matte O’Brien

Anne of Green Gables - A New Musical: The Larger Concept

0

[ANNE]
Stop, don't say another word
I know just what you're gonna say
I've been waiting since forever
But suddenly I'm not ready for this
Stop, I need another minute
Thirty seconds, twenty! Ten! Alright!
Just a moment more and then
I'll steady myself for this
So that's it?
I finally got just what I wanted
A quiet little place where I belong
I should be thrilled
I should be dancing on the ceiling
Instead of feeling like everything is wrong
[DIANA]
So that's it
You can['t] forget your kindred spirit
You know the rules
Mother will not hear it, life goes on
Good girls are seen but never heard
So not another word
Diana, you're only meant to be looked upon
[ANNE & DIANA]
Everything I ever wanted
Everything I ever dreamed
None of it's as simple as it seemed
When did it change?
When did it change?
Confusion reigns supreme and dreams seem sour now and strange
Was it a lie?
And what's the truth?
Now that I'm standing in the ashes of my youth
[GILBERT]
So that's it?
It's just a minor concussion
I've been hit
Literally knocked off my feet
I was carefree and popular
Top of the class
Then this Anne Shirley girl comes
And knocks me on my... rump
Calls me a fool and calls me a chump
[ALL]
Now I'm questioning everything thought I was
Rethinking everything I thought I'd be
[GILBERT]
All thanks to here
[DIANA]
Who I was
[GILBERT]
All thanks to her
[DIANA & ANNE]
Who we were
[GILBERT]
All thanks to an injury from a ginger we know as Anne of Avonlea
[DIANA & ANNE]
When did it change?
When did it change?
[GILBERT]
When did change?
[GILBERT, DIANA, & ANNE]
Confusion reigns supreme and dreams seem sour now and strange
Was it a lie?
And what's the truth?
Now that I'm standing in the ashes of my youth
[ALL]
All I've ever wanted was belonging
A feeling of belonging
Somewhere, somehow
To someone
Well now that I'm finally belonging
Who would think I still could be
Longing
[ENSEMBLE, (ANNE)]
When did it change? (When did it change?)
[ENSEMBLE, (GILBERT)]
When did it change? (When did it change?)
[ALL]
Confusion reigns supreme
And dreams seem sour now and strange
Was it a lie?
And what's the truth?
Now that I'm standing in the ashes of my
I'm standing in the ashes of my
I'm standing in the ashes of my
Oh, I'm standing in the ashes of
Come find me in the ashes
Of my youth
