Requiem

Dear Evan Hansen

[Zoe] Why should I go and fall apart for you?


Why should I play this game of pretend?
Remembering through a secondhand sorrow? Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
Such a great son and wonderful friend Saying that I miss you
Oh, don't the tears just pour And that my world has gone dark without your light?
(I can see your light)
I could curl up and hide in my room I will sing no requiem tonight
There in my bed, still sobbing tomorrow
I could give in to all of the gloom 'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep
But tell me, tell me what for No one lights a candle to remember
No, no one mourns at all
Why should I have a heavy heart? When they lay them down to sleep
Why should I start to break in pieces?
Why should I go and fall apart for you? So, don't tell me that I didn't have it right
Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white
Why should I play the grieving girl and lie After all you put me through
Saying that I miss you Don't say it wasn't true
And that my world has gone dark without your light? That you were not the monster
I will sing no requiem tonight That I knew

[Larry] 'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and lie


I gave you the world, you threw it away Saying that I miss you
Leaving these broken pieces behind you And that my world has gone dark
Everything wasted, nothing to say
So I can sing no requiem [Larry]
I will sing no requiem
[Cynthia]
I hear your voice, I feel you near [Cynthia]
Within these words, I finally find you I will sing no requiem
And now that I know that you are still here
I will sing no requiem tonight [Zoe]
I will sing no requiem tonight
[Zoe & Larry]
Why should I have a heavy heart? [Larry & Cynthia]
Oh, oh
[Zoe]
Why should I say I'll keep you with me? [Zoe]
Oh

[Zoe, Larry & Cynthia]


Oh
