"We went to battle ever evening after dinner" that line strikes me. This happens to me an my parents every night and morning. Sometimes I get to school in tears, and I don't know whether to wipe them or keep em there and maybe have someone ask if I'm ok.

[gabbyl]

"Cause every day, you pulled a little more away" -- my mom said a similar thing to me back when I was really deep in my depression. This line means a lot to me :)

Maybe the reason why this song was cut because the producer doesn’t want the actress who play Cynthia or Heidi having a breakdown from singing this song eight times a week.. idk just guessing

[LaraSamira]

key change equals goosebumps. maths everybody.

[kaitlynang]

Ever since I first heard this song, I’ve fallen in love. Especially the way it slides down in “the anger in your eyes”

[cutiepiglete]

😭😭😭 *THIS DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE CUT IT SHOULD'VE BEEN IN THE SHOW* Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful song with us! My favourite Dear Evan Hansen song. And this song makes me tear up.

[shortie]

Ok so I realised something.
"Anything to make you happy, anything at all."
In the song they talked about physical things the boys had, the stars and the nightlight. But the boys didn't need that stuff. They wanted it. They tried to make the boys happy with physical stuff, but I think all Connor and Evan needed was true love from their parents and that was the one thing they didn't get.

[garettknight]

What if this was placed right after So Big/ So Small, but instead, this is Cynthia's solo. We see Cynthia, broken-hearted because of Evan and the lie, sitting in Connor's room remembering when they were happy and Connor was a child. We see her holding onto all of the stuff he had, Ninja turtle nightlight and everything. Even though they wanted some of the stuff to be Evan's, why not all as Connor's. Heidi sings about the memory of Evan's dad leaving in So Big/ So Small, why not have Cynthia sing about her memories with Connor when he was young and happy in the past? Just a thought I had. Amazing song though, i love listening to the bonus tracks all the time. "Part of Me" and "In The Bedroom Down The Hall" are my two favorite songs. Love this show to death and I aspire and I'm working my hardest to one day be up on that stage as Evan Hansen.

[JadeEliot]

I think every generation of Heidis and Cynthias should make a recording of this song and release it so I can feel infinite carnations of the emotions this makes me feel. My favorite song from all of DEH, the songs that made the show and not.

[mehya]

I already knew that this was a cut song back when Evan was still played by Ben. I loved it, especially the chorus, cause I found it so sad. It always breaks my heart and I get a lump in my throat. I'm so happy they are actually making it an uncut song here

[khalifazman]

this is highkey my favourite deh song to exist. the emotion, the lyrics. Best p&p song imo

[AmiesRoses]

Even though this was cut from the musical, I do hope this makes it into the movie/film adaptation that's in early talks; It's such an emotional and moving song.

[evanhrose]

i wish this wasn't deleted, it's so beautiful on how it shows how the mother feels after what happened but on a more personal level.

[janna]

My brother is 3 years younger than I am. He's rebellious, adventurous, everything. He tries everything, from jumping on the sofa to running down slopes and yelling dirty stuff in public areas. The only problem is he blames it all on me, and I never tell my parents when they come and scold me. It has been 8 years since he first did this and not a day goes by without this happening. But I don't complain- I hold it inside me silently. Because I love my brother despite all he does to me.

He is what I have. I always say I hate him for annoying the he'll out of me but I could never actually hate him. I still remember when we were children and we would play together happily, but that all changed when he turned 4. What happened back then? I really don't know why he changed, but he became more rude, he didn't like me fussing over him. He started to yell and hit me all the time. Get me in trouble although I never did anything. But I never said anything, because I could never hate him despite everything, everything he did.

The struggles of being an older sister. I had to live with the knowledge that my brother whom I treasure _so much_ is farther from me every day. He is so far away.

All I want is to have that innocent boy I once knew back. Is that so hard?

I tried to give him all I could but he never let me in. I don't know why. I love him and I want the world for him but held so far away. I love this song because I feel it so much. Yes, it's sad. I cry every time I listen to it but I still do because it's amazing. But most of all it reminds me of myself.

Enoch, if you ever see this, I love you. More than you will ever know. You deserve the world.

And I can't hold on much longer, I know that in my heart. All i want to do is make rings right. My depression makes it so hard for me and I really want to let go.

This is why I love this musical. I don't believe in a lot of the things it says, I can't believe it because of my depression, but every time I listen to it it gives me this illusion of hope. Hope, that I might be alright and I might reconnect with my brother one day.

I know it will never be possible.

But at least I tried.

If you read till here... thank you.

Lyrics:
You never liked this sweater
You said it never really fit you right
and it itched too much
But I think I'll keep
I should keep it
Cause it still makes me think of you
And that little boy I knew
In the bedroom down the hall

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 a 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

In the bedroom down the hall
We went to battle every evening after dinner
I thought I knew someway 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 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

Anything to make you happy
Anything at all
Anything for my boy in
The bedroom down the hall

Oh you try to give your kid the world
Give them everything you've got
What if I gave all I could
And I thought it was enough
But I find that it was not

Did I let you down?

What else can I do?

Everything I ever did, I did it all for you

Anything to make you happy
Anything at all
Anything for my boy in
The bedroom down the hall

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

[adamgriffith]

Maybe they could take away that anger in your eyes - this line connects with me so much .

[Cm-lhhm]

I know this sounds pretty silly, but this song saved my life tonight.
without getting too deep into it, i've been struggling, and had intended to do something about it very soon but, i've been on a DEH kick lately, and this song is absolutely the one above all others that gets a very emotional response from me, without fail. My mother is very similar to Cynthia and hearing her part in this song, and I cant stop picturing my mother in her place if i went through with it, I couldnt do that to her. So thank you, its silly, for sure, but this song definitely stopped me in my tracks for a while at least, I think i'll try to find something to live for again.

So… when is A Little Bit of Light coming?

[Unknownturtle]

There’s only 9 dislikes. That’s saying something. This musical is so important to this generation and it’s made such a difference to so many people and it’s incredible. The writers and cast members make it so magical and these songs that didn’t make it to the show itself are still fantastic and important to the story’s development. Completely amazing DEH. Thank you.

[Pebblepaw-lh]

Somehow I'm able to make it past literally every other song in this show, yet this one has me bawling.
