Lisa Carew
(STRIDE)
Lisa Carew
Can this be you?
What kind of man is this you've taken?
Can you not see the kind of life
That this would be?
You are mistaken
Time to awaken before it's too late
Before you forever determine your fate
(LISA)
But Simon, you knew
I had to be free
What I choose to do
Is decided by me
Ever since my mother died
My father, bless his darling heart
Has treated me as though I'm still a young child
Maybe his idea was just to wait until I grew up
And then look at me and hope that I'd be her
It's easy to accept this from a father
He'd rather things remained the way they were
But when it comes to marriage, I must pick whom I prefer
I am not the weak young thing you're seeking, Simon
Someone seventeen, obedient, and sweet
I am not the protégé to waste your time on
I'm complete
In Henry's eyes, I see
What I am meant to be
(STRIDE)
Lisa, listen to me
(LISA)
Simon, enough
There's nothing more
Don't be a bore
You have your answer
That's how things are
Will always be
You had your chance, Sir, with me
(STRIDE)
Someday you'll regret what you just said to me
Lisa
(LISA)
We'll see, Sir
