High School Musical Cast - Gotta Go My Own Way Lyrics






[Gabriella:]
I gotta say what's on my mind
Something about us doesn't seem right these days
Life keeps getting in the way
Whenever we try, somehow the plan
Is always rearranged

It's so hard to say
But I've gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay...

I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way

Don't wanna leave it all behind
But I get my hopes up
And I watch them fall every time
Another color turns to grey
And it's just too hard to watch it all
Slowly fade away
I'm leaving today cause I gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay...

I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way

[Troy:]
What about us?
What about everything we've been through?

[Gabriella:]
What about trust?

[Troy:]
You know I never wanted to hurt you

[Gabriella:]
And what about me?

[Troy:]
What am I supposed to do?

[Gabriella:]
I gotta leave but

[Both:]
I'll miss you

[Gabriella (Troy):]
So I've got to move on and be who I am
(Why do you have to go?)
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand
(I'm trying to understand)
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now
(I want you to stay)
I gotta go my own way

I've got to move on and be who I am
(What about us?)
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand
(I'm trying to understand)
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way

    Gabriella deserves a lot better. Troy was really not there for her.

  2. j.... i....

    Troy, listen.
    I gotta say what's on my mind
    Something about us
    Doesn't seem right these days
    Life keeps getting in the way
    Whenever we try
    Somehow the plan
    Is always rearranged
    It's so hard to say
    But I've got to do what's best for me
    You'll be okay
    I've got to move on and be who I am
    I just don't belong here
    I hope you understand
    We might find a place in this world someday
    But at least for now
    I gotta go my own way
    Don't wanna leave it all behind
    But I get my hopes up
    And I watch them fall every time
    Another color turns to gray
    And it's just to hard
    To watch it all
    Slowly fade away
    I'm leaving today
    'Cause I gotta do what's best for me
    You'll be okay
    I've got to move on and be who I am
    I just don't belong here
    I hope you understand
    We might find a place in this world someday
    But at least for now
    I gotta go my own way

    What about us?
    What about everything we've been through?

    What about trust?

    You know I never wanted to hurt you

    What about me?

    What am I supposed to do?

    I gotta leave but I'll miss you

    So, I've got to move on and be who I am

    Why do you have to go?

    I just don't belong here
    I hope you understand

    I'm trying to understand

    We might find a place in this world someday
    But at least for now

    I want you to stay

    I gotta go my own way

    I've got to move on and be who I am

    What about us?

    I just don't belong here
    I hope you understand

    I'm trying to understand

    We might find a place in this world someday (World someday)
    But at least for now
    I gotta go my own way
    I gotta go my own way
    I gotta go-my own way

    When I was a kid watching this, yeah it was sad. But now being 21. Watching and listening to this song. It hits me different.. after being in love. And her leaving. This really gets me man... this song is very well done. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t just shed some tears.

    Gooooo go your own way you dramatic bitch

  21. K.... A....

    9 year old me:acting like I’m heartbroken
    Who here n 2020‼️‼️

  22. J.... A....

    The nostalgiaaaaa

  23. t.... r....

    this part makes me cry gabriella breaks up with troy again
    troy has done something wrong again so now he goes out with sharpay
    this is what sharpay wanted
    😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

  24. S.... G....

    As soon as the video starts: me saying everyone word by heart

  25. R.... H....

    I feel this movie was less about how Troy got hooked on the good life and more about that he's too nice a guy that he can't say no to people.

    Like, he's not an idiot, he knew that Sharpay's trying to lure him away, but she doesn't take no for an answer and he's too agreeable to object.

  26. T.... W....

    His face when she started singing "I've got to move on and be who I am..." is so crushing. He literally looked crushed.

    But the part on the bridge is like when my best friend and I parted ways. I've never had a boyfriend, but losing my best friend was definitely crushing so I can only imagine what a breakup would feel like.

  27. L.... G....

  38. S.... K....

    The first time I ever cried while watching a movie

  39. E.... X....

    I watched this when it came out, back when I was like 8 years old I always thought she‘s just quitting her job not breaking up with him ahhhhh sksksksk

  40. A.... A....

    Troy's face at the end was like ; "Alright, do what you want. I'll show you you're wrong." ... Always got me

  41. T.... G....

    This scene was deep .

  42. A.... C....

    Putz nostalgia❤️

  43. A.... Z....

    I bet when Vanessa and Austin broke up he was like: „what about us? What about everything we’ve been through?“
    and she was like „what about trust“
    and he was like „You know I never wanted to hurt you“
    and she was like „and what about me?“
    and he asked „what am I supposed to do?“
    and she was like „I gotta leave but I‘ll miss you“
    and he was like „I’ll miss youuuu“
    Okay I‘m done now, I‘m just really heartbroken about them breaking up

  70. B.... F....

    Iconic 👌🏻

  71. K.... D....

    not a single person can say they didnt sing and pretend like theyre heartbroken in their bedroom in 2007

  72. T.... I....

    THEY STOLE THIS FROM TIKTOK

  73. I.... R....

    i really hope these two get back together

  74. F.... D....

    The truth is... Gabriella is not wrong. She is NOT over dramatic in her decision to leave. The song - maybe - is. But even if you pay attention to the lyrics, she's not really saying anything definite, also the song isn't addressed to Troy only. It's not so much like "you betrayed me, I hate you!" (except for that 'what about trust?' line), it's more like "Troy, we both know this isn't working, I need to stay away for a bit because I feel I'm not living my best summer as I wanted to". And honestly guys... That's pretty mature! It's not really Troy's fault nor Gabriella's, not even Sharpay's. It's life, you know. Gabriella is quite smart and smooth in this movie, only those two or three lines are kinda whiny and stupid, the "new shoes" thing and all... The real toxic ones are Chad and the others... But you could say that from HSM1 already.

  75. K.... E....

    I was just randomly singing this in my head lmao had to come Listen to it

  76. k.... b....

    WHAT ABOUT USSSSSSSS

  85. Z.... L....

    Ngl I cried on this part of the movie🤦🏾‍♀️ I was way younger but still😂😂

  86. L.... D....

    omg Gabriella is so talented that she even do her own back up without even opening her mouth, a true Icon

  87. d.... v....

    Real talk she left Troy every single movie I realize like damn she just rolling at the first sign of conflict and tried to blame it on him for not having time while he out there just trying get a college scholarship lol

  88. M.... l....
