Lyrics
Elsa: I can't be what you expect of me And I'm trying every day with all I do And do not say Here on the edge of the abyss Knowing everything in my whole life has lead to this

And so I pull inside myself Close the walls put up my guard I've practised every single day for this So why is it so hard

'Cause I can't show you I'm not as cold as I seem There are things you cannot know And it's dangerous to dream

Anna: Sorry I'm late!

I know I'll never see that sunny day When this trial is finally through, And it could just be me and you I can't dwell on what we've lost And our secrecy and silence comes at such a cost

I wish I could tell the truth Show you who's behind the door I wish you knew what all this pantomime and pageantry was for

I have to be so cautious And you're so extreme We're different, you and I And it's dangerous to dream

It's dangerous to wish I could make choices of my own Dangerous to even have that thought

I'm dangerous just standing here For everyone to see If I let go of rules Who knows how dangerous I'd be?

I can't believe that I'm standing here Did I really make it through? Father, I did it Now I'm tied to you

I can't stop smiling, how strange Does this mean that things are different? Could they really change?

And could I open up the door And finally see you face to face I guess the queen can change the rules But not the reasons they're in place

I can't be what you expect of me And I'm not what I seem But I would love to know you Is it dangerous to dream?
