Part Of Me

In the dark you were swept away

And the world wouldn't let you stay

All the words that I want to say, I can’t find

I am lost in remembering

Did you soar on an angel's wing?

Will your face keep on lingering

In my mind?

Ooh

Hear me now

Ooh oh

Ooh

Hear me now

Ooh oh

A part of me

Finds a hope in holding on

A part of me

Won't give up what isn’t gone

A part of me

Wants to share the hurt and heartache

That I felt that day

When you took away

A part of me

Alana put a copy of your speech online

On the Facebook page for The Connor Project?

People started sharing it, I guess

And now it's, I mean, It's everywhere

People from all over the country

Yesterday Connor had 12 friends on here

How many does he have know?

1, 239

What happened?

You did

I feel the weight of the world sink in

(Connor and I used to ride the same bus)

And the chills dance across my skin

(We were best friends in 4th grade)

(They were inseparable)

When I think how you must have been

(How you must have been)

So alone

(Our son went to school with Connor)

Ooh

(He was my friend)

Hear me now

(I never met you, Connor, but coming on here

Reading everyone's posts, it's so easy to feel alone)

(But right now, we're not alone. None of us)

(Thank you, Evan Hansen, for giving us a space to remember Connor)

Ooh

(We’ll always remember)

A part of me

Needs a way to say goodbye

A part of me

Now remembers how to cry

A part of me

Wants to share the hurt and heartache

So the world can see

That you’ll always be

A part of me

You left this life

And left me numb

All were blind, and deaf, and dumb

We didn't know how bad it had become

Or how to save you

Now every prayer I’ve learned is prayed

And every moment shared replayed

I won't allow your memory to fade

Can I save you?

The sky collapsed without a sound

As broken pieces hit the ground

The rain fell down around me and I drowned

But I will save you

Our secret sorrows overflowed

I see them in your afterglow

I promise I will never let you go

I will save you

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

A part of me

Can't believe it's even real

A part of me

Doesn’t know how much to feel

A part of me

Finds a rush within the pain

A part of me

Needs the feeling to remain

A part of me

Wants to share the hurt and heartache

So the world can see

That you'll always be

I think there's something you should know

You make me feel closer to him

A part of me
