Requiem from DEAR EVAN HANSEN performed by Mallory Bechtel DEAR EVAN HANSEN
[00:09.97] Why should I play this game of pretend?
[00:13.99] Remembering through a secondhand sorrow?
[00:18.72] Such a great son and wonderful friend
[00:22.88] Oh, don't the tears just pour
[00:28.14] I could curl up and hide in my room
[00:32.64] There in my bed, still sobbing tomorrow
[00:37.38] I could give in to all of the gloom
[00:41.14] But tell me, tell me what for
[00:46.41] Why should I have a heavy heart?
[00:48.88] Why should I start to break in pieces?
[00:52.14] Why should I go and fall apart for you?
[00:58.16] Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
[01:06.63] Saying that I miss you
[01:08.89] And that my world has gone dark without your light?
[01:18.38] I will sing no requiem tonight
[01:33.13] You were the flood that swallowed us whole
[01:37.13] Refusing a love we endlessly gave you
[01:41.89] You were a fire out of control
[01:46.39] The blaze that couldn't be tamed
[01:51.14] Why should I have a heavy heart?
[01:53.62] Why should I say I'll keep you with me?
[01:56.64] Why should I go and fall apart for you?
[02:02.39] Why should I play the grieving girl
[02:07.63] and lie
[02:10.62] Saying that I miss you
[02:12.83] and that my world has gone dark
[02:16.83] without your light?
[02:21.58] I will sing no requiem
[02:25.59] Tonight
[02:27.07] 'Cause when the villains fall,
[02:30.09] the kingdoms never weep
[02:33.07] No one lights a candle to remember
[02:37.09] No, no one mourns at all
[02:40.81] When they lay them down to sleep
[02:44.08] So, don't tell me that I didn't have it right
[02:50.07] Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white
[02:55.33] After all you put me through
[02:58.57] Don't say it wasn't true
[03:01.36] That you were not the monster
[03:05.32] That I knew
[03:11.09] 'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl
[03:17.02] and lie
[03:20.00] Saying that I miss you
[03:21.90] And that my world has gone dark
[03:31.65] I will sing no requiem
[03:36.38] I will sing no requiem tonight
[03:48.39] Oh, oh
