Jennifer Laura Thompson - Requiem lyrics

[ZOE] 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 can 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 [LARRY, spoken] I'm going to bed [CYNTHIA, spoken] Come sit with me [LARRY] Cynthia [CYNTHIA] For five minutes? [LARRY] I'm exhausted [CYNTHIA] You know Larry, at some point you're going to have to start- [LARRY] Not tonight. Please. I'll leave the light on for you. [LARRY, sung] 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 [CYNTHIA] I hear your voice, 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 [ZOE & LARRY] Why should I have a heavy heart? [ZOE] 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 'cuz when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep no one lights a candle to remember no, no one mourns at all they lay them 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, 'cuz I cannot play the grieving girl and lie saying that I miss you and that my world has gone dark [LARRY] I will sing no requiem [CYNTHIA] I will sing no requiem [ZOE] I will sing no requiem tonight
