After Evan (Ben Platt) leaves the Murphys' house, Cynthia, Larry, and Zoe (Amy Adams, Danny Pino, and Kaitlyn Dever) all reflect on how Evan’s fabricated stories have made them see Connor (Colton Ryan) in a new light.
[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, spoken]
I'm going to bed.
[CYNTHIA, spoken]
Come sit with me.
[LARRY]
Cynthia.
[CYNTHIA]
You can't stand to be in this room for five minutes?
[LARRY]
I'm exhausted.
[CYNTHIA]
You know, Larry, at somе point you're going to have to start dealing—
[LARRY]
Not tonight. Plеase.
[CYNTHIA]
Just read this.
[LARRY]
I'll keep 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, 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
[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 can see 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
[LARRY]
I will sing no requiem
[CYNTHIA]
I will sing no requiem
[ZOE]
I will sing no requiem tonight
[LARRY & CYNTHIA]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[ZOE]
Oh-oh
[ZOE, LARRY, & CYNTHIA]
Oh-ohhh
