Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
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?
[PreChorus]
Why should I have a heavy heart?
Why should I start to break in pieces?
Why should I go and fall apart for you?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[PreChorus]
Why should I have a heavy heart?
Why should I say I'll keep you with me?
I'll keep you with me
Why should I go and fall apart for you?
[Chorus]
Why should I play the grieving girl and
Lie saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark without your light?
My world has gone dark
I can see your light
I will sing no requiem tonight
[Bridge]
'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 were not the monster that I knew
[Chorus]
'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you and that my world has gone dark
[Chorus]
I will sing no requiem
I will sing no requiem
I will sing no requiem tonight
[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
