Why should I play this game of pretend?
Remembering through a second-hand 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 and feel you near
Within these words, I finally find you
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 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?
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 must be black and white
After all you put me through
Don't say it wasn't true
That you are 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.)
