Rent Soundtrack · Rent [2005 Movie Soundtrack] [2005]

Mimi:

It's true you sold your guitar and bought a car?

Roger:

It's true - I'm leaving now for Santa Fe. It's true you're with this yuppie scum?

Benny:

You said you'd never speak to him again

Mimi:

Not now

Maureen:

Who said you that you have any say in who she says things to at all?

Roger:

Yeah!

Joanne:

Who said that you should stick your nose in other people's...

Maureen:

Who said I was talking to you?

Joanne:

we used to have this fight each night

Mark:

Calm down

Joanne:

She'd never admit I existed

Mark:

Everyone please

Mimi:

He was the same way - he was always "run away - hit the road don't commit" you're full of shit

Joanne:

She's in denial

Mimi:

He's in denial

Joanne:

Didn't give an inch when i gave a mile

Mark:

Come on

Mimi:

I gave a mile

Roger:

Gave a mile to who?

Mark & Benny:

Come on guys chill!

Mimi & Joanne:

I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had someone to live for-unafraid to say i love you

Roger:

All your words are nice Mimi but loves not a three way street you'll never share real love until you love your self-I should

know

Collins:

You all said you'd be cool today so please for my sake...

I cant believe he's gone

I cant believe your going

I can't believe this family must die

Angel helped us believe in love I can't believe you disagree

All:

I cant believe this is good bye

Mark:

I hear there are great resturants out west

Roger:

Some of the best, how could she?

Mark:

How could you let her go?

Roger:

You just don't know...how could me lose Angel?

Mark:

Maybe you'll see why when you stop escaping your pain at least now if you try Angel's death won't be in vain

Roger:

His death is in vain

Mark:

Are you insane? There's so much to care about there's me there's Mimi-

Roger:

Mimi's got her baggage too

Mark:

So do you

Roger:

Who are you to tell me what I know. What to do?

Mark:

A friend

Roger:

But who Mark are you?

"Mark has got his work" they say

"Mark lives for his work" and

"Mark's in love with his work" Mark

hides in his work

Mark:

From what?

Roger:

From facing your failure, facing your loneliness facing the fact you live a lie

yes, you live a lie tell you why

you're always preaching not to be numb when that's how you thrive

you pretend to create and observe

when you really detach from feeling alive

Mark:

Perhaps because I'm the one of us to survive

Roger:

Poor baby

Mark:

Mimi still loves you, are you really jealous or afraid that Mimi's weak

Roger:

Mimi did look pale

Mark:

Mimi's gotten thin

Mimi's running out of time

and you're running out the door--

Roger: No more! Oh no! I've gotta go

Mark:

Hey for someone who's always been let down who's heading out of town?

Roger:

For someone who long's for a community of his own, who's with his camera, alone?

i'll call.. i hate the fall

you heard?

Mimi:

Every word

you don't want baggage without lifetime guarantees

You don't want to watch me die?

I just came to say

goodbye love goodbye love

came to say goodbye love, goodbye

just came to say

Roger: Glory

Mimi:

goodbye love

Roger:

One blaze of

Mimi:

goodbye love

Roger:

glory

Mimi:

goodbye love goodbye

Roger: have to find



Mimi:

please don't touch me understand I'm scared i need to go away

Mark:

I know a place, a clinic

Benny:

A rehab?

Mimi:

Maybe, could you?

Benny:

I'll pay

Mimi:

goodbye love

goodbye love

came to say goodbye love goodbye

just came to say goodbye love

goodbye love goodbye love goodbye love

hello disease
