Requiem - Laura Dreyfuss/Michael Park/Jennifer Laura Thompson

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 can 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

I 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 and 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

Ah 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

'Cuz when the villains fall the kingdoms never weep

No one lights a candle to remember

No no one mourns at all

And 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've put me through don't say it wasn't true

That you were not the monster that I knew

'Cuz 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
