Requiem (From The “Dear Evan Hansen” Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

[ZOE] 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 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 [LARRY, spoken] I'm going to bed.​ [CYNTHIA, spoken] Come sit with me.​ [LARRY] Cynthia.​ [CYNTHIA] You can't stand to be in this room for five minutes? [LARRY] I'm exhausted.​ [CYNTHIA] You know, Larry, at somе point you're going to have to start dealing— [LARRY] Not tonight. Plеase.​ [CYNTHIA] Just read this.​ [LARRY] I'll keep the light on for you [LARRY, sung] 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 [CYNTHIA] 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 [ZOE & LARRY] Why should I have a heavy heart? [ZOE] 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 can see 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 [LARRY] I will sing no requiem [CYNTHIA] I will sing no requiem [ZOE] I will sing no requiem tonight [LARRY & CYNTHIA] Oh-oh, oh-oh [ZOE] Oh-oh [ZOE, LARRY, & CYNTHIA] Oh-ohhh
