Lyrics:

​

Of course I want to build a snowman

But you don't understand

You're better off without me

Trust me

I better stay away

If only you knew

How much I would love

To be with you and not have to hide

I would love to build a snowman

Oh how I'd love to build a snowman

Go away, Anna - so you don't see me cry

 

I would love to build a snowman

Or ride our bikes around the halls

This empty room is lonely

And I know you are too

But there's no other way

I wish I could be with you

I miss you so

But I know that I have to stay

(Conceal don't feel, conceal don't feel)

 

I know you're out there

And it breaks my heart to hide

I know that this is hurting you

and I am crying too

It isn't fair

But you're better off without me

I'd only hurt you

That'd be something I couldn't bear

​

Of course I'd love to build a snowman...

Content: Frozen - Elsa's Response 'Of Course I'd Love to Build a Snowman'

​

My friend and videographer, Natasha Zaman, and I decided to give Elsa the chance to respond to Anna's question in this video.

​

The movie 'Frozen' very much tells Anna's perspective of how she felt growing up without her sister, but it fails to portray Elsa's agony of being lonely as well.

In this video, we imagined Elsa singing quietly by herself in her room, sometimes in her day dreams and in her mind when Anna is around, because she has to conceal the truth from her. We tried to portray her inner feelings, vulnerability and heartbreaking strength of being apart from her sister throughout her whole journey, when all she wanted to do was to be with her and build a snowman with her again.
