The Confrontation Lyrics by Simon Bowman, Claire Moore, Peter Polycarpou

Miss Saigon (Original London Cast Recording)

0

[CHRIS]
We could not find her anywhere
Honey, what's wrong?

[ELLEN]
Kim was here
The one who had to tell her was me

[JOHN]
Oh my God, it's my fault

[CHRIS]
I knew we were gone too long!

[ELLEN]
No, I think it's exactly what I had to see
There are some things that you left out alright
She wants her husband to go to her place tonight

[CHRIS]
That's not how things were
I just promised her

[JOHN]
It's the same to her

[ELLEN]
Don't explain
There's nothing you can say
It's like she went insane
She tried to give away her own child

[JOHN]
She wants your son to be an American boy

[ELLEN]
Don't you see, she still thinks she's married to you
You must tell her she's not
She must hear it from you
Course it only depends if it's true

[CHRIS]
Please don't doubt me, Ellen
You're my wife
Lots of guys came back
And had no life
I had you

[ELLEN]
You can say what you want but she's borne you a son
In your nightmares the name that you shouted was hers
You've been with me two years and not shared things you've done
Don't hold back
Let me see
Is it her now
Or me?

[CHRIS]
Let me tell you the way it was
Back when I was a different man
Back when I didn't have a clue who I am
The feelings locked behind a dam
That kept me there in Vietnam

There in a shambles of a war
I found what I was looking for
Saigon was crazed but she was real
And for one moment I could feel

I saw a world I never knew
And through her eyes I suffered too
In spite of all the things that were
I started to believe in her

So I wanted to save her, protect her
Christ, I am American
How could I fail to do good?
All I made was a mess just like everyone else
In a place full of mystery
That I never once understood
I wanted back a world I knew
The story of my life began again with you

[ELLEN]
It's all right now
I'm with you

[CHRIS]
Oh Ellen, I should have told you

[ELLEN]
We'll get through this
We'll pull through

[CHRIS]
Will you ever trust me again?

[ELLEN & CHRIS]
All I want in my life (All I have in my life now)

[ELLEN & CHRIS]
Is you
