Just say you're sorry:(sung) You can still be with the WizardWhat you've worked and waited forYou can have all you ever wanted:ELPHABA(spoken) I know:(sung) But I don't want it - No - I can't want itAnymore:Something has changed within me Something is not the sameI'm through with playing by the rulesOf someone else's gameToo late for second-guessingToo late to go back to sleepIt's time to trust my instinctsClose my eyes: and leap!It's time to tryDefying gravityI think I'll tryDefying gravityAnd you can't pull me down!GLINDACan't I make you understand?You're having delusions of grandeur:ELPHABAI'm through accepting limits'Cuz someone says they're soSome things I cannot changeBut till I try, I'll never know!Too long I've been afraid ofLosing love I guess I've lostWell, if that's loveIt comes at much too high a cost!I'd sooner buyDefying gravityKiss me goodbyeI'm defying gravityAnd you can't pull me down:(spoken) Glinda - come with me.
