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 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
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
So don't tell me that I didn't get 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 Without your light
I will sing no requiem I will sing no requiem I will sing no requiem tonight
