Concept, Cathy sings this to Jamie. She is the more successful one and over time Jamie grew bitter because he couldn't handle the fact that his wife had gotten the success he dreamed of having at that point.

[@sofeea]

There are people And they are publishing my book And there's a party that they're throwing And while you've made it very clear that you're not going I will be going And that's done But what's it really about? Is it really about a party, Cathy? Can we please for a minute stop blaming And say what you feel? Is it just that you're disappointed To be going again to Ohio? Did you think this would all be much easier Than it's turned out to be? Well, then talk to me, Cathy Talk to me If I didn't believe in you We'd never have gotten this far If I didn't believe in you And all of the ten thousand women you are If I didn't think you could do Anything you ever wanted to If I wasn't certain that you'd come through somehow The fact of the matter is, Cathy I wouldn't be standing here now If I didn't believe in you We wouldn't be having this fight If I didn't believe in you I'd walk out the door and say, "Cathy, you're right" But I never could let that go Knowing the things about you I know Things, when I met you four years ago, I knew It never took much convincing To make me believe in you Don't we get to be happy, Cathy? At some point down the line Don't we get to relax? Without some new tsuris To push me yet further from you? If I'm cheering on your side, Cathy Why can't you support mine? Why do I have to feel I've committed some felony Doing what I always swore I would do? I don't want you to hurt I don't want you to sink But you know what I think? I think you'll be fine! Just hang on and you'll see- But don't make me wait till you do To be happy with you Will you listen to me? No one can give you courage No one can thicken your skin I will not fail so you can be comfortable, Cathy I will not lose because you can't win If I didn't believe in your Then here's where the travelogue ends If I didn't believe in you I couldn't have stood before all of our friends And said, "This is the life I choose- This is the thing I can't bear to lose Trip us or trap us, but we refuse to fall" That's what I thought we agreed on, Cathy If I hadn't believed in you I wouldn't have loved you at all

[@raquelDRS5936]

Thanks for your help by Writing the lyrics of this song from The Last Five Years That helps a lot

[@paulamusik2509]

I love your accompaniments so so much!!! If you could do „moving to fast“ I would forever be grateful!❤️ It’s one of my favorite songs to sing and there isn’t one female karaoke track to it out there!☹️

[@sixzeerosix]

THIS KEY IS SO PERFECT. Again alto rights!!!!! Do you mind if I use this for a cover in the future?

[@niamhhurley7559]

[@ROANmusicofficial]

This is awesome!!! Would it be possible for you to also do Soul of a Man from Kinky Boots?

[@abbied.]

[@samipopcornpup9161]

If you can would you possibly be able to do Michael In the Bathroom from Be More Chill in a slightly higher key? All of the other versions I can find aren't very dynamic and you are such an amazing pianist so I'm sure you could make a brilliant version. X

[@ThePinkWazzabii]

Thanks a lot for all of your videos! Maybe your next song could be just you wait from my fair lady? :)

[@TheK2Kmusic]

[@blakeleywillson1991]

The key is in B Major :))

[@becabarton9291]

this is amazing! i can never seem to get the first note though, what is it??

[@theatrepianoaccompaniments2147]

beca barton It’s an E. “There are people...” is E - F# - G# - B. If E is too low, try replacing the first E with an F# (so you’d have two F#s in a row).

[@xubs5919]

O meu livro já decidiram publicar E essa festa celebra isso Você já deixou bem claro Que não está indo Mas eu tô indo sem você Mas eu queria saber Se o problema é mesmo essa festa Uma vez nessa vida Me diga o que você sentiu Ou você está chateada Por ficar distante em outra turnê? Ou pensava que a vida não ia ser Tão difícil assim? Então diz pra mim, Cathy Diz pra mim Eu não deixei de acreditar No que você pode fazer Eu não deixei de acreditar Nas dez mil mulheres vivendo em você Jamais duvidei que você Fosse capaz de surpreender Se eu não confiasse que fosse conseguir Pra ser bem sincero contigo Eu nem estaria aqui Eu não deixei de acreditar Brigamos, pois você não vê Eu não deixei de acreditar E às vezes acreditei mais que você Não faz nem quatro anos que Uma outra Cathy eu conheci Que lutaria até conseguir vencer E sei que ela ainda existe Aí dentro de você Não seremos felizes, Cathy? Ou vai ser sempre assim? Sempre temos que ter Um novo problema Que me afaste mais de você Por você estou torcendo, Cathy Então torça por mim Não me deixe sentir Que fiz algo de errado, Se me esforço pra te fazer mais feliz Eu não quero seu mal Nem te ver afundar Mas você tem que aceitar Que vai ficar bem Você vai ver que sim Mas só não me faça sofrer Esperando você decidir ser feliz Porque só você mesma Pode fazê-la enxergar Não vou falhar só pra te deixar confortável Não vou perder pra te acompanhar Se eu deixar de acreditar A nossa jornada tem fim Se eu deixar de acreditar Eu vou esquecer tudo que eu prometi Assim eu escolhi viver Mas não suporto perder você Qualquer problema nós vamos resolver Foi o que nós prometemos, Cathy Se eu não pudesse acreditar Jamais amaria você

If I didn't believe in you, Then here's where the travelogue ends. If I didn't believe in you, I couldn't have got up before all of our friends And say, "This is the life I choose This is the thing I can't bear to lose. Trip us or trap us, but we refuse to fall." That's what I thought we agreed on, Cathy. If I didn’t believed in you, I wouldn't have loved you at all. Now why don't you put your dress on and we'll go, okay? Cathy? Can we just do that, please?
