"No More" lyrics
Brian d'Arcy James & David Patrick Kelly Lyrics
(from "Into The Woods (2022 Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)
No more questions
Please
No more tests
Comes the day you say, "What for?"
Please-no more
We disappoint
We disappear
We die but they don't...
What?
They disappoint
In turn, I fear
Forgive, though, they won't...
No more riddles
No more jests
No more curses you can't undo
Left by fathers you never knew
No more quests
No more feelings
Time to shut the door
Just-no more
Running away-let's do it
Free from the ties that bind
No more despair
Or burdens to bear
Out there in the yonder
Running away-go to it
Where did you have in mind?
Have to take care:
Unless there's a "where"
You'll only be wandering blind
Just more questions
Different kind
Where are we to go?
Where are we ever to go?
Running away-we'll do it
Why sit around, resigned?
Trouble is, son
The farther you run
The more you'll feel undefined
For what you have left undone
And, more, what you've left behind
We disappoint
We leave a mess
We die but we don't...
We disappoint
In turn, I guess
Forget, though, we won't...
Like father, like son
No more giants
Waging war
Can't we just pursue our lives
With our children and our wives?
Till that happy day arrives
How do you ignore
All the witches
All the curses
All the wolves, all the lies
The false hopes, the goodbyes
The reverses
All the wondering what even worse is
Still in store?
All the children...
All the giants...
No more
Please
No more tests
Comes the day you say, "What for?"
Please-no more
We disappoint
We disappear
We die but they don't...
What?
They disappoint
In turn, I fear
Forgive, though, they won't...
No more riddles
No more jests
No more curses you can't undo
Left by fathers you never knew
No more quests
No more feelings
Time to shut the door
Just-no more
Running away-let's do it
Free from the ties that bind
No more despair
Or burdens to bear
Out there in the yonder
Running away-go to it
Where did you have in mind?
Have to take care:
Unless there's a "where"
You'll only be wandering blind
Just more questions
Different kind
Where are we to go?
Where are we ever to go?
Running away-we'll do it
Why sit around, resigned?
Trouble is, son
The farther you run
The more you'll feel undefined
For what you have left undone
And, more, what you've left behind
We disappoint
We leave a mess
We die but we don't...
We disappoint
In turn, I guess
Forget, though, we won't...
Like father, like son
No more giants
Waging war
Can't we just pursue our lives
With our children and our wives?
Till that happy day arrives
How do you ignore
All the witches
All the curses
All the wolves, all the lies
The false hopes, the goodbyes
The reverses
All the wondering what even worse is
Still in store?
All the children...
All the giants...
No more
