Requiem Lyrics by Mallory Bechtel

2018

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
