Requiem [German translation]

[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 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

[LARRY]

I gave you the world, you threw it away

Leaving these broken pieces behind you

Everything wasted, nothing to say

So I will sing no requiem

[CYNTHIA]

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 tonight

[LARRY & ZOE]

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?

(CYNTHIA: I can see your light)

I will sing no requiem tonight

'Cause when the villains fall

The kingdom never weeps

No one lights a candle to remember

No, no one mourns at all

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 without your light

[LARRY]

I will sing no requiem

[CYNTHIA]

I will sing no requiem

[ZOE]

I will sing no requiem tonight
