Requiem (From The “Dear Evan Hansen” Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Why should I play this game of pretend

Remembering through a secondhand sorrow

Such a great son and wonderful friend

Oh don't the tears just pour

I could curl up and hide in my room

There in my bed still sobbing tomorrow

I could give in to all of the gloom

But tell me tell me what for

Why should I have a heavy heart
Why should I start to break in pieces
Why should I go and fall apart for you

Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark without your light

I will sing no requiem tonight

We gave you the world you threw it away

Leaving these broken pieces behind you
Everything wasted nothing to say

So I can sing no requiem
I hear your voice I feel you near

Within these words I finally find you
And now that I know that you are still here

I will sing no requiem tonight
Why should I have a heavy heart
Why should I say I'll keep you with me
Why should I go and fall apart for you

Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark without your light

I will sing no requiem
Tonight

'Cause when the villains fall the kingdoms never weep

No one lights a candle to remember
No no one mourns at all
They lay them down to sleep
So don't tell me that I didn't have it right
Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white
After all you put me through

Don't say it wasn't true
That you were not the monster

That I knew

'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and lie

Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark

I will sing no requiem

I will sing no requiem

I will sing no requiem tonight

Oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-ohhh
