  • Gabriella
    I gotta say what's in my mind
    Something about us
    doesn't seem right these days
    life keeps getting in the way
    Whenever we try, somehow the plan
    is always rearranged
    It's so hard to say
    But I've gotta do what's best for me
    You'll be ok..
    I've go to move on and be who I am
    I just don't belong here
    I hope you understand
    We might find our place in this
    world someday
    But at least for now
    I gotta go my own away
    Don't wanna leave it all behind
    But I get my hopes up
    and I watch them fall everytime
    Another colour turns to grey
    and it's just too hard to watch it all
    slowly fade away
    I'm leaving today 'cause I've
    gotta do what's best for me

    you'll be ok..
    I've got to move on and be who I am
    I just don't belong here
    I hope you understand
    We might find our place in this
    world someday
    But at least for now
    I gotta go my own away

    Troy
    What about us?
    What about everything we've been through?

    Gabriella
    What about trust?

    Troy
    you know I never wanted to hurt you

    Gabriella
    and what about me?

    Troy
    What am I supposed to do?

    Gabriella
    I gotta leave but I'll miss you

    Troy
    I'll miss you

    Gabriella
    so
    I've got to move on and be who I am

    Troy
    Why do you have to go?

    Gabriella
    I just don't belong here
    I hope you understand

    Troy:
    I try to understand

    Gabriella
    We might find our place in this
    world someday
    but at least for now

    Troy
    I want you to stay

    Gabriella
    I wanna go my own way
    I've got to move on and be who I am

    Troy
    What about us?

    Gabriella
    I just don't belong here
    I hope you understand

    Troy
    I'm trying to understand

    Gabriella
    We might find our place in this
    world someday
    but at least for now
    I gotta go my own away
    I gotta go my own away
    I gotta go my own away Writer/s: ADAM M. WATTS, ANDREW CREIGHTON DODD, DAVID N. LAWRENCE

  • Makayla from Louisville, Kyand when they reunite it was with the help of ryan and kelsi and them because sharpay said that the staff could not participate in the talent show so troy quit but said he would do it if the staff could do the talent show as well. and then ryan said that sharpay switched the songs when she did not and he learned that one instead and when he started singing the girl that sang was not sharpay but gabriella and then the staff joined in with them and they finally kissed at the end!:)
  • Evie from Sweet Valley, PaThis is after Gabriella finds out Sharpay's tryin to get Troy all to herself. She breaks up with him, only to reunite at the talent show.
