What Have I Done Lyrics by Ren Alberg

Turnabout: An Ace Attorney Musical (Original Cast Recording)

2022

[PHOENIX WRIGHT]
It feels as though I've been here before
Long before I entered the courtroom war
I know the truth, but my hands are tied
I'm in the dark, for your light has died

[PHOENIX/MAYA FEY]
What have I done?
I let you die

[MAYA]
Before my eyes
All I could do was lie there and cry

[PHOENIX/MAYA]
Who will save the day?
Chief(/Mia), I'm lost without you

[PHOENIX]
Your guidance was the only way I got through

[MAYA]
And now it's up to me
To uphold our family name
But how am I supposed to do that
When all I feel is shame?

[PHOENIX]
I was naïve to think I'd ever
Rise to face what thе future would bring
I thought that I could change the world
But I couldn't changе a thing

[spoken]
Maybe I should just… give up. I don’t even know what I’m fighting for anymore

[MAYA, spoken]
Maybe I should just run away… how could I even help? I’m not—!
Sis!
No

[PHOENIX, spoken]
No!

[MAYA, spoken]
I know better!

[PHOENIX, spoken]
This isn’t what she would want!

[PHOENIX/MAYA]
Even though I'm lonely and defeated

[MAYA]
I won't allow our name to be mistreated

[PHOENIX]
As long as I survive, I'll keep your ideals alive

[PHOENIX/MAYA]
The justice you deserve won't be denied

[PHOENIX, spoken]
Guard! Guard!

[MAGGEY BYRDE, spoken]
Hey! Are you alright, sir?

[PHOENIX, spoken]
You can tell Miles Edgeworth that I reject his offer. Tell him… I’ll see him in court

[PHOENIX/MAYA]
Things will not end this way
This fight I will renew

[MAYA]
In me, my family's power will shine through

[PHOENIX]
I will shine through
Tomorrow I'll stand up for you
And prove the truth in court

[PHOENIX/MAYA]
I won't forget what you were fighting for
What have I done?

[PHOENIX]
I saved Maya! I let her go free!

[MAYA]
Mia's spirit will live on in me!

[PHOENIX]
I can save the day

[MAYA]
I'm alright, I'm okay

[Simultaneous 1:]

[MAYA]
With you as my light
It's my turn now to make it—
Head up! Back straight
'Cause I'm staring down my fate
Stand my ground! Won't back down
I won't crack under the weight
I can't keep a level head
But I'll trust my heart instead
The past is gone, and

[Simultaneous 2:]

[PHOENIX]
And with your memory as my light
It's my turn now to make it right
Make it right
I'll take flight

[Simultaneous End:]

[PHOENIX/MAYA]
There's no way that things will ever be the same…

[MAYA]
I will force a grin

[PHOENIX]
I will not give in

[MAYA]
I know come what may

[PHOENIX]
I will find a way

[PHOENIX/MAYA]
I will fight—

[MAYA]
Like a Fey

[PHOENIX]
On this August Day
