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. Here 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 when 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-oh.
