Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT MINE. I didn't interview them or film this or anything, I just found it on Facebook and thought it would be neat to share it.

Lyrics:
Cynthia:
You never liked this sweater
You said it never really fit you right
And it itched too much
But I think I’ll keep it
I should keep it
Cause it still makes me think of you
And that little boy I knew
In the bedroom down the hall
Heidi:
In the bedroom down the hall
I got you Ninja Turtle night-lights for protection
You used to say they kept the bad guys far away,
Remember?
In the bedroom down the hall
I surprised you with that comic book collection
Next Halloween,
I dressed you up like Wolverine,
Remember?
With glow stars on the ceiling
You could count instead of sheep
I always knew which song to sing
To get you right to sleep
Anything to make you happy
Anything at all
Anything for my boy in the bedroom down the hall
Cynthia:
In the bedroom down the hall
We went to battle every evening after dinner
I thought I knew some way that I’d get through to you,
Remember?
In the bedroom down the hall
We fought a war where no one walked away a winner
Cause every day you pulled a little more away,
Remember?
Saw the counselors and the clinics
And the cures a mother tries
Cause maybe they could take away that anger in your eyes
Cynthia & Heidi:
Anything to make you happy
Anything at all
Anything for my boy in the bedroom down the hall
Cynthia:
And though you try
Heidi:
You try
Cynthia & Heidi:
To give your kid the world
Give ‘em everything you’ve got
Heidi:
What if I
Cynthia:
What if I
Heidi:
Gave all I…
Cynthia:
Gave all I could
Heidi:
I thought it was enough
Cynthia & Heidi:
And I thought it was enough
But it was not
Heidi:
Did I let you down?
Cynthia:
What else can I do?
Cynthia & Heidi:
Everything I ever did
I did all for you
Anything to make you happy
Anything at all
Anything for my boy in the bedroom down the hall
Cynthia:
In the bedroom down the hall
I think I’ll wait another day to pack these boxes
Cause once I’m through
I’m left with just one thing to do
Remember
I swear to god these guys could make the whole world cry by writing sad songs about moms
Gloomy Pen Im not crying *sniff*
I just have something in my eye...
Pastel Doodle Is it tears?
OKAY WE'RE ALL CRYING
Gloomy Pen
They didn't write this song, it's from Dear Evan Hansen (If you didn't know). They are good at singing and piano though.
I love how this song talked about counselling because I was always a bit mad at Cynthia if she knew how bad it was, why didn't she get help? But now I know she did and it just wasn't enough and ow my heart
Sometimes you can set every help in the way of a troubled child... and it doesn't help because they won't accept it.
That old saying of "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" applies to people too. Folks... especially those with troubles... will often not accept the help people are trying desperately to give them.
Sadly... I know this from experience.
Ava Gili but they did get help, counsellors, rehab, all that
I know it's a late response but when they are arguing at the table Cynthia said "I had to fight you every step of the way, rehab, all the help" or something along those lines. so yeah, they did. I didn't really notice at first either haha
Yeah, it’s canon that cynthia did everything she could to get Connor help, but he refused it because of his father’s outlook on it. That he was seeking attention.
Bruh I'm just imagining near the end when they're both singing together, they're both sitting back to back (like those door scenes in movies) and Evan and ghost Connor come in the rooms and try to help their moms and Evan helps his mom up and they walk away. And it's just ghost Connor and his mom. Since Connors dead he can't help her while she's singing that last part of the song and she picks up his signature black hoodie and hugs it while Connor either hugs her or tries to but right when he's about to hug her he freezes and walks away and leaves her all alone right before her last line. *LIGHTS OUT*
Can you tell I'm tired?😂
priscilla silva oh my god that would be so sad but also so beautiful
It’s been 7 months but TiMe tO gO tO sLeEp!¡
HOW DARE U MAKE ME CRY
I-
OH MY GOSH UR SO SMART I LOVE U
I can watch Justin play the piano for hours.
"saw the counselours and the clinics, and the cures a mother tries"
Does this mean Connor actually got help? But it wasnt enough?
Sofia Gomes Before DEH was on Broadway and they were in Washington D.C. they had more facts about why Connor became depressed. It's a shame they didn't include them in the broadway version but these were the facts in the off-broadway production:
1. Connor's teachers called his parents telling them Connor was being bullied and coming to school smelling like cigarettes
2. Teachers advised Connor's parents to put him on antidepressants, and they did, until they stopped working.
3. Then Connor started to do drugs
Sofia Gomes But all of these behavior changes and other things started in 6th grade
what would be enough
@@jasminewaite5071 I wish they would have put these facts. Sometimes I feel like there's so much missing from Connor's story and his story should be told more to make sense of why he eventually ended up killing himself. That way, people would understand more of why a teenager is suicidal instead of just calling them a problematic kid with an anger issue.
regina
If you’d like some more insight, although this isn’t in the offical musical/story, the DEH book covers a lot of Connor’s back story and it’s super interesting and you hear a lot of what was going on in his head
ANOTHER song that shows so much important characterization that was cut! I understand why but...I feel like this would've added so much to the plot. Very sad to see it cut. Also, totally not bawling my eyes out
Sheridan Dwyer I think (imo) it would have shown that Cynthia and Hedi did knows thier sons more than its shown in the show. It showed they were close at some point and as Conner got older the drifting that sometimes happens between a teenage child and parent happened and Cynthia still tried, it would make her instance and desperation to hear Conner was good deep down more understandable, rather than have her look like she was in denial.
And it would probably have made me at least more sympathetic towards Hedi. Like I was raised by a single parent and i can understand her and So Big/So Small still makes me cry, but this song showed that she had been very involed with Evan's life when he was little and drive home the point everything she did was for him. On one hand that makes it even more understandable why Evan felt so attention starved from her; things werent always like they were at the point in the show, and the drifting between them was circumstance of Hedi having to work more and more.
I think it would have made her pov more understandable in Good For You a little, but thats my personal feelings (she comes if very selfish in that song to me personally, like shes mad that hes happy instead of being mad he used a kids death)
I love how into the song the writers get, especially at the end they're both singing their hearts out and the piano playing is amazing
Learning more about Connor's descent and Evan's cute childhood that you could never guess because of his anxiety. It hurts me. So. Much.
I was holding it together until "I think I'll wait another day to pack these boxes..." How dare they?
the last verses that cynthia sings are so heartbreakingly true. i broke down crying, actually. it's incredible how you can capture such a heavy emotion in just a few words.
THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT SONG HOW COULD THEY CUT THIS
I'm so upset that 2 songs from DEH which tell SO MUCH of the story were cut. Hamilton has 40+ songs. we need these songs
Yeah, but Hamilton is a sing through musical. Dear Evan Hansen has scenes in it, so if they didn't cut a few songs then there would be no time for the dialogue.
+Gwen N. Exactly.
gwen...that's called an opera
I don't know that I'd want to change a thing about the show, but this is another heartbreakingly beautiful song. Even though it got cut, I'm so glad they recorded it and it's posted here. I feel grateful I get to experience it at all!
lisette, a musical which is mostly sung is not an opera. rent, phantom etc are musicals. an opera actually has acted scenes as well. what defines an opera is that it is done by an opera company, not a musical theatre troupe. Musicals that are primarily sund through can be referred to as oprettas but also just musicals. Evita, Hamilton, Cats, a lot of Sondheim shows fall in this category.
In the livestream they said that there's a recorded version with Rachel and Jennifer singing this song, I really hope it's released at some point!
Jack Love wish granted, friend !!
just get the obc to sing all these cut songs and honestly you'd be able to make so much money if you sell them because i will buyout all the copies
Yoshi Y same
There's a great idea for a benefit concert: Dear Evan Hansen cast sings songs cut from Dear Evan Hansen!
I'd literally pay so much money per song it's crazy
+Katherine Counter heck I'd even pay a lot of money for a better recording of pasek and Paul singing this and the other songs
In the same live stream they sang this song they said that the actors for Cynthia and Heidi (can't think of their names off the top of my head) recorded a version of this song and hoped that it could be released to the public someday.
You guys should make a Dear Evan Hansen Mixtape, like one that hamilton did. ITS BEAUTIFUL
Emily Cole YESS THEY SHOULD. I WAS JUST THINKING THAT. WE COULD GET ALL THE CUT SONGS
Emily Cole this is genius we should start like a petition.
Elizabeth Echenique YESYESYES
I'll just blame it on weed, or something in my eye.
CAUSE I'M JUST MICHEAL WHO YOU DON'T KNOW
MICHAEL FLYING SOLO
@@hopefulromantic4660
MICHEAL IN THE BATHROOM BY HIMSEEEEEEEEEEEEELF
Knock, knock, knock, knock..
@@plain4869 THEY'RE GONNA START TO SHOUT SOON
dANG THEY SHOULD'VE KEPT THIS SONG IN BC I CAN FALL ASLEEP TO THIS BUT IT'S NOT ON THE OBCR SO I HAVE TO KEEP MY PHONE ON TO HEAR IT
AshleySingsBroadway WHY DID YOU INTRODUCE ME TO THIS MUSICAL NOW IM CONSTANTLY CRYING
AshleySingsBroadway Convert YT to Mp3
they decided not to bc too many ballads at once :(
Literally same. Glad I'm not alone!
Am I the only one that couldn't stop watching his hands? The piano in this song is amazing!
can they just?? have professional recording of the OBC singing the cut songs because that'd make me happy
AmeliaPanics happiness while listening to dear evan hansen?? what is that???
wish granted, friend.
The last few lines Cynthia sings always cuts me like a knife WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO MEEEE
Me and my mom cried listening to this and both agreed they should have kept it in the show. We saw it together 1 week ago
this is just perfect in every way...It takes alot to make me cry and I'm crying with a smile on my face. I wish this was in the show
scuse me I don't believe I gave you permission to make me cry its 3 am this shouldn't be allowed
same lol
Personally, I find that the best hour to cry :)
Cc Presto Ben says it's the best time to sing... you are all opened up and clear.
r00d right
Cc Presto 4am for me lol
I can’t believe they cut this song
It’s brings me the most emotion out of all of them
OH MY GOD AFTER WATCHING THIS I ACTUALLY HAD TO TAKE A MINUTE TO RECOLLECT MYSELF THIS WAS WAY TOO GOOD WHAT
Let’s take a moment to appreciate how well they sing
holy mother of god i'm weeping this song is gorgeous and SAD WOW
IaMnOdEcOy Sometimes this thing happens where I'm scrolling through comments on my phone and accidentally click on a comment, which forces me to reply. This is one of those times. There's no option to click out and cancel the reply, so I usually write a letter, post it and then delete it
Literally been playing this on repeat for weeks! So beautiful❤️
Love this song...I wish the song was kept in the show.. sooo talented!!! They're are truly changing Musicals like Jonathan Larson did when Rent came out in the 90s...
Thank you for posting video..
This song makes me cry everytime
When even the composers' voices are this beautiful you know you're gonna need more tissue boxes.
I absolutely love this song because it connects the moms on a deeper level than Does Anyone Have a Map and it shows how much Cynthia cared about Connor and the harmonies just hit me and it's just so beautiful and I wish that it was in the show, and..
This song makes me so emotional ahhh. I love this version.
This and A little bit of light are so beautiful songs I so wish wasn't cut. At least one of them should have stayed, they tell so much about what we don't know, like how hard Cynthia tried to reach through to Connor. It also shows how hard it can be to live with someone who is mentally sick, and that there isn't always anything you can do. And to hear about Evan and Connor as children just breaks my heart.
After waiting for forever for the recording version by the two mothers, finally it came out and my wish came true. Now if there’s a live version of them singing coming out, I’d be more satisfied and happier than ever before. I’m seriously in love and obsessed with this show and everyone/everything that’s involved or related to it. Truly, “Words Fail.”
this is so beautiful im crying
I'm going through listening to all the cut songs and I can't stop crying
I can't help but cry meanwhile seeing this
*cries*
Amandine De Simone tysm
Amandine De Simone good one 😂😂
I sleep to this every night ❤️
Their voices are so beautiful.... 😭
I've listened to this at least 8 times. You'd think I would have stopped getting teary at this song by now, right? nope.
I'm crying oh god someone needs to make an instrumental of this please
I should have packed a lunch, i didn't know about this unplanned feels trip. it's 12 am and i'm crying, trying not to wake up the rest of my family :')
my new favorite song from DEH and it's not even in the musical ugh. no official studio recordings or anything. gonna be listening to this video nonstop then!
Andrea Macalalad wish granted, there’s now a professionally recorded demo !!
This is giving me major Jason robert brown vibes and I have chills I'm in love with this song
I wish this was still in the show its so nice
Who else agrees that they should take all the cut songs and transform them into another musical? Even if it wasn't like a continuation of DEH, I want to be able to hear all the cut songs on a stage!!
Can’t help bawling my eyes out with just the thought of having the other mother not having to hold her kid anymore. It’s just so sad. 😔
This is exactly the song I wish they add to the show but like Cynthia sing solo about Connor. #GiveCythiaASolo
im tired and when im tired i get emotional and you CANNOT do this to me right now
Still makes me cry and shiver
They are so brilliant it's unbelievable
SOBBING UNCONTROLABLLY
NiNjA tUrTLeS (im looking at you laura)
* cries in the middle of the night*
Whenever I listen to this song I always imagine Cynthia in Connor’s room packing up his things while he just kind of sits on the bed and watches and at the end he gets up and hugs her and then everyone in the audience sobs. WHY PASEK AND PAUL WHY?!?!? 😭😭😭💙💙💙
im crying so hard omg this touched me this should have been in the musical but i do understand why it was cut
I LOVE this song. The lyrics are incredible.
SOBBING but kind of used to it by now, thanks DEH
well this made me cry
THIS IS SO AMAZING. THEY ARE GENIUSES AND SO TALENTED.
These men are the reason I cry so much
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put this song in the upcoming London production! PLEASE!
I could talk about the anybody have a map parallels along with how similar Cynthia and Heidi's situations were and how different they are at the same time, but I just want to demand who gave them the right to make me cry
i am so excited for the book to this musical. the story is so heartbreaking and i just wish the musical was longer and fit all these cut scenes because they add so much character and story and emotion and just ugh
hahahaHAHAHAHA they took this out for to break in a glove
Natalie Chapel I think this would've been perfect just after the Heidi and Evan's fight about the Conbor Perfect
justin paul be vibing with the piano
I'm so hyped bc in the facebook live ((i watched it after i watched this vid)) they said there is a recorded version of this with the two actors who play Heidi and Cynthia that they hope will make it into the world someday
i feel like so many songs cut from musicals move the story so much farther and delve so much deeper into specific characters, and i don’t know if it’s just me but they turn out to be one of the better songs in the show.
This s the most beautiful song...
I wish they didn’t cut this song it’s so amazing
* throws every award at these men *
IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE
But seriously. Chills.
This reminds me of dear theadosia oh my god🤧
More like the Dear Theodosia Reprise. At least for the making me want to cry aspect.
Tears, tears on my face when the first note comes out 😭😭
THIS IS SO GOOD I AM ACTUALLY CRYING RIGHT NOW
WHY DID THEY CUT THIS SONG ITS SO AMAZING AND NOW IM GOING TO CRY
I'm crying
Another beautiful song!
This song changed my life. If theres anything that could possibly save my relationship with my mother, its this.
God, this is so gorgeous. I wish it'd stayed
Okay but y'all, can we discuss how incredible Benj's voice is!!
I AM ACTUALLY CRYING HELP ME
((also I think it may be 'gave all I could"? idk thats just my best guess))
yeah, that makes a whole lot more sense!! i'll change the lyrics and captions to "could" (also same)
I didn't cry until those last lines and omg I lost it 😩😭
I wish this was included. Such a beautiful song.
This is absolutely beautiful
3:54 gave me life. i didn't even noticed I died. but it gave me life
Amazing this was a CUT song (!)
I've just been listening to all the cut songs on here and it really makes for a much darker, sadder tone in the first Act. Pasek and Paul mentioned that with this song and/or A Little Bit of Light, and Requiem all together it would have been too dark and difficult to come back from. But I really like that trio (plus A Part Of Me) as it adds weight to the story and really makes you feel for the parents. Kind of like how I've Been, I Am the One, and A Light in the Dark give you Dan's perspective in Next to Normal as the loved one dealing with everything, it's not just Diana/Natalie's story. Obviously N2N is heavier and more intense than DEH, and really is an emotional punching bag pretty much the whole show while DEH is lighter in general. Still, while I do love the OBC, I am a little sad these songs weren't included.
I'm supposed to be reading but I'm listening to this and crying
I hope they publish the sheet music for this. I want to sing it so badly!
i actually started crying how did this not make the final cut
that piano is so beautiful
this is my favorite cut song from this musical, would have loved to see how it would fit into the show. 😊
PLS MAKE THE OBC RECORD THIS, ITS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG
zuleika camposano WISH GRANTED?
I managed to get through this entire song without crying. And then Cynthia's last line played and I lost it.
This song is hands down going in top 10 key changes of all time. That was fuckin incredible.
okay so maybe they didn't want it in the show (even though this song is so incredible and moving), but they could've done a studio version and made like a normal & deluxe album. i mean... just imagine. all the same songs but with bonus tracks of this and "this'll be the year" and "part of me" and "a little bit of light". i would give AnYtHiNg
Natalie Røberts wish granted?
Honestly I feel like this song should have been left in the show, it would be by far my favourite. It's so beautiful and would have been an amazing addition not only Cynthia and Heidi's characters but also to Connors. I feel like we never learn much about who he really was or his issues.
