Lyrics:


ALEX: “No one understands what I’ve had to go through. I’ve been living a lie and I can’t do
it anymore. This is the end, if you are reading this then know it is done. I am gone.
And even though you feel ashamed now that you drove me to this, just know it’s not
half of what I’ve felt.”
“But I still love you. Mum, Dad, Michael. Despite everything.”

ALEX:
FOR YOU WHO GAVE ME LIFE
FOR YOU WHO GAVE ME THINGS
I THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
AND LOVE YOU ETERNALLY FOREVERMORE

In a split screen, Michael visits the headteacher. Alex goes to the underpass and leaves his diary open on his bed.

MICHAEL: You asked for me sir?

CANTWELL: You’re friends with that Alex boy are you not?

MICHAEL: Well, not really…

CANTWELL: Great, it has come to my attention that he hasn’t been attending his classes, would
you see to it that he receives some help on his philosophy assignment?

MICHAEL: As I said, we’re not really…

CANTWELL: Splendid, could you also see me tomorrow to tell me how he is, and when he thinks
he’ll be coming back. I need to know whether to clear out his locker.

MICHAEL: Fine.

Michael makes his way to Alex’s room.

MICHAEL: Your front door was unlocked so I… Alex? Alex?

Michael picks up the diary.

MICHAEL:
FOR YOU WHOM I DEPEND
MY ONE MY LOVE MY FRIEND
YOU ARE WHAT I ALWAYS WILL NEED
AND I CAN’T CARRY ON WITH THIS PAIN ANYMORE

ALEX & MICHAEL:
I TRY
NOTHING IS AS GOOD OR CAN COMPARE

ALEX:
GOODBYE
TIME TO GO TO SLEEP,
FOR GOOD

MICHAEL:
FOR YOU

ALEX:
FOR YOU WHO TOOK ME IN
FOR WHAT I MIGHT HAVE BEEN
WHO ARE YOU, ANYMORE
WHO ARE YOU TO ME, ANYMORE
I DON’T KNOW

AND NOW I’M OFF TO BED
SLEEP TIGHT AND REST YOUR HEAD
I’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE
I’LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE

ALEX & MICHAEL: There is no more I have to give,
There is no reason now to live,
School is out, there’s no more class,
You’ll find me dead at the underpass.

Alex leaves the stage.
