The Problem (Reprise)
Anna Miriam Brown
[MATTHIAS & ZYRAH]
I'm sorry
No, I'm sorry, I
Shouldn't have done that
I just thought maybe you liked me
I do, just not quite like that
I'm so sorry
Don't be sorry, I never should have lied
Lied?
I said no one would miss me, in hopes to leave the past behind
But she still haunts me every night
With lovely, lonely eyes
You have a lover
I have a wife
[MATTHIAS]
And the problem is I still love her
And I'll never feel anything less
But I'm torn 'cause I can't touch her
She's the east and I'm the west
Though it seems I'm unable
I'll still be faithful, stable in vows that my past self confessed
'Cause I know my Ashra will even be faithful
'Til death
[MATTHIAS & ZYRAH]
Was her heart broken when she learned you were sick?
I just left
[ZYRAH, spoken]
You didn't tell her?
[MATTHIAS]
I didn't want my love thinking of me like this
I confess
I was plagued by the way that she looked at a leper in our past
I think I'd die if she looked at me like that
So, I packed
[MATTHIAS & ZYRAH & MATTHIAS & ZYRAH]
And I didn't even look back
You didn't even look back
I didn't even look back
You didn't even look back
I didn't even look back
You didn't even look back
How cowardly is that?
Then your love's heart is broken in fact
