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 Here 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 We 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, 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 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 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've put me through Don't say it wasn't true That you're 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 I will sing no requiem I will sing no requiem I will sing no requiem Tonight Tonight
