Life’s Too Short (Outtake)

Lyrics

[Robert Lopez, spoken] As we were developing "Frozen", one of the songs we knew we have to write was the song between Elsa and Anna At the end of which, Elsa had to freeze Anna's heart with a blast of magic [Kristen Anderson-Lopez, spoken] This first attempt was more confrontational than what ultimately ended up in the movie, but we enjoyed going to that drama place [Robert Lopez, spoken] In this version, Anna's solution to the problem is for Elsa to put the gloves back on and this is a thing that really sets Elsa off It's called "Life's Too Short" [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA] I came all this way today to give us a fresh start But now that you're like "wow" It's all like warm in my heart [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA] I'm so glad you like it, sis, 'cause this is the real me You have no idea how great it feels to be free [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA] We've been fallen out for way too long So let's forget who's right [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA] And forget who's wrong [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA & ELSA] Okay! [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA] Why don't you stay? There's room for family in my court [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA & ELSA] Cause life's too short [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA] To always feel shut out and unloved By the sister I long to know [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA & ELSA] Life's too short [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA] To never let you celebrate me The true queen of the ice and snow [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA] Wo-ho-ho [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA, Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA, Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA & ELSA] I never (I never) understood (understood) But now I do Life's too short To miss out on a sister like you [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA, spoken] So you'll come back, then.  [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA, spoken] Back? [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA, spoken] To thaw the fjord, it's frozen over, no one can get in or out? [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA, spoken] Oh [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA, spoken] So... [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA, spoken] Oh! I don't believe you! [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA, spoken] What?! I just assumed that you would have to... [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA] That I'll shove on the gloves? That's how your story ends? [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA] It does! It's just like it was, except for we'll be best friends [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA] So, that's in your plan, to force me back in a cage? [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA] Whoa, whoa! Don't get upset Let's get back on the same page [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA] Gee, thanks for coming up to see the place And showing off your mastery of tact and grace, Okay! Run down the hill and spill my secrets Make a full report! Buh-bye! [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA] Wait! [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA] Cause life's too short [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA] There it is! The door you love to slam in my face! You did well there for a spell But now you're back in the same place Kick me out if you want, but I'm the only one who Is not one hundred percent convinced the prophecy's you! [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA] You can think whatever you want 'cause I don't care You're a fool who married a stranger! [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA] That is so unfair! [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA & ELSA, Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA, Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA] I swear I'm through with taking your unshaking sisterly support! Support! Support! Ha! Life's too short! [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA] To let you treat the people down there Just as coldly as you always treated me [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA] La la lalala lalala [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA & ELSA] Life's too short! [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA] To listen to a reckless fool Who only ever sees the things she wants to see [Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA, Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ELSA, Kristen Anderson-Lopez as ANNA & ELSA] You don't know You have no idea What I've been through Because of you Life's too short to waste another minute Life's too short to even have you in it Life's too short I've been so wrong about you You?! You've been so wrong about everything Maybe you are the prophecy! I am NOT the prophecy!
