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 You were the flood that swallowed us whole Refusing a love we endlessly gave you You were a fire out of control The blaze that couldn't be tamed 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 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 tonight Oh Oh
Thank you! This is going to help me a ton!!

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
You were the flood that
swallowed us whole
Refusing a love we endlessly gave you
You were a fire out of control
The blaze that couldn't be tamed
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 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
tonight
Oh
Oh
