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
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
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
Oh
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 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
I will sing
no requiem
I will sing
no requiem
I will sing
no requiem
tonight
Oh oh
Oh
oh
Oh oh
