Requiem

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 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 'Cuz 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'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
