Dear Evan Hansen Cast - In The Bedroom Down The Hall 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?

So 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

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

[Cynthia:]
Did I let you down?

[Heidi:]
What else can I do?

[Cynthia & Heidi:]
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

[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?

Dear Evan Hansen Cast In The Bedroom Down The Hall Comments
  1. T.... ....

    This song is so much better than Requiem

  2. K.... P....

    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.

  3. S.... ....

    "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.

  4. N.... E....

    This is one of my favorite songs from the show - I think it should have replaced so big/so small. I think we deserve to remember the tragedy of what happened too

  5. T.... ....

    I sometimes forget this got cut. It’ll be weird not hearing it when i see the show this month

  6. H.... B....

    Where was this song originally supposed to fit in to the show? I think that it would fit pretty well after "Good for You." Heidi reflecting on all the things she's done for Evan, feeling the pain of him finding another family while still realizing how much she cares about him. And Cynthia, facing the world's blame for Connor's suicide, remembering everything she did to help him.

  7. [.... d....

    why was evan having a ninja turtle night light so cute

  8. M.... ....

    Ears? Blessed
    This cast? Amazing
    Me? Sobbing
    Hotel? Trivago

    M.... ....

    Trivago? Hotel.

  9. G.... Y....

    Of all the songs that didn't make it into the show, I strongly believe this one most deserved to remain! I almost hope some day they reinstate it. It adds so much to the show, and I believe also ticks all the boxes that other deleted songs were trying to reach at.

  10. G.... K....

    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.

    G.... K....

    Oof no no no we couldn't handle Words Fail THEN In The Bedroom THEN So Big / So Small 😂😂

  11. C.... m....

    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.

    C.... m....

    Hey man. Some time has passed since you posted this, but I just stumbled upon it. I hope you're better now! Cheers.

  12. A.... ....

    Omg Cynthia's part though I almost cried prop sly because I cry whenever someone talks about Connor

  13. v.... c....

    that like versus dislike ratio tho

  14. E.... K....

    I was crying enough in requiem when I saw the show so not gonna lie if this was in it I’d be balling haha

  15. K.... S....

    9 people aren't in the bedroom down the hall

  16. L.... ....

    ‘We fought for a long time to keep this song in the show’ not freaking hard enough! This ranks alongside replacing Now That I’ve Seen Her with Maybe, in Miss Saigon - an incomprehensible decision

  17. J.... L....

    This is my favourite DEH song out of anything, OBC, other cut songs, anything. Nothing is better.

  18. H.... ....

    THE FUCKING KEY CHANGE

  19. O.... M....

    I so wish this hadn't been cut from the show. I feel like this song connects with the audience way more than to break in a glove and I would have much prefered to have this song than to break in a glove

  20. k.... u....

    *definitely not crying*

  21. T.... U....

    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.

  22. P.... T....

    Me: *Crying, stuffing Cheese-Its into my mouth*

    *IN THE BEDROOM DOWN THE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

  23. C.... C....

    so sad when you listen to the lyrics

  24. K.... L....

    This song gets me every time I hear it

  25. S.... S....

    Finally seeing DEH next week in Ca and just learned this song was cut. Big loss as it’s simultaneously heart wrenching and breathtaking. OUCH.

  26. L.... L....

    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.

    L.... L....

    WAIT THERE IS GOING TO BE A FLIM!!!

  27. S.... C....

    Oh shit. This hurts so much

  28. P.... ....

    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.

    P.... ....

    Yo what if Connor actually went through this!!! Also in the book he said he never physically hurt her!

    P.... ....

    Dear Peony.
    I just want to say, that you have immeasurable value. You've got such a beautiful, loving heart, And I hope your brother realises how lucky he is to have an amazing sister like you. I don't really know what else to say... I've never been in the same situation as you before, so I don't know what It's like. Just know that there is someone out there who sees you, and who acknowledges that what you're going through must be Really, really tough. Harder than what a lot of people go through. Keep holding on. You WILL be found. (I'm sorry if that was a little cheesy, but It's true.) I don't know if you believe in God, but I do. Know that I'll be praying for you.
    Again, you are such an incredible human being, and I hope you get the best life can offer.

    P.... ....

    I think youre being too soft. Dont just take it and wait. Tell your parents. Discipline him. Make him human. The more you love him more the reason to do it. Help him go the right way. People rarely realize on their own that theyre wrong. Same for when theyre told softly. Would men take it seriously if women talked about voting right over a cup of tea and a teddy bear? Or if women just waited for men to realize by theirselves that hey maybe the women deserve right too. Maybe not the best comparison, but really sometimes impact does the trick. I dont mean beat him up, just crack down a little harder on your control. What he should do and what he shouldnt. Probably your parents should be the ones doing it but you can help. Hope your sadness gets better too.

    +) the reason he changed is that hes grown. Hes grown out of being an innocent dependent child, like most humans do. He wont go back and thats not a problem. Hes just getting on with his life. The real problem is if he stays this way and never grows better, into a decent being, like he should. The person has to improve for the relationship to improve, especially since you are a decent being. A really nice one. People change. Dont forget that.

    P.... ....

    Depression can be hard! Your so strong to not only take on that battle, but also the one with your brother! Little brothers are annoying! But some siblings can just be flat out mean! It means a lot that you still love him even though he's been so rude to you! All I hope is that things get better for you and that you hold onto that illusion of hope until it becomes a reality! 💖

    P.... ....

    As a fellow big sister this left mr sobbing, I understand your pain darling. It'll be okay.

  29. J.... ....

    I can't believe this song got cut but To Break In A Glove gets to open act 2

    J.... ....

    JJFLIP101 I know right, they could have atleast written a better song for Micheal and Ben

    J.... ....

    I absolutely love to break in a glove. It's so heartbreaking behind the silly premise.

  30. M.... L....

    not crying ᕙ(░ಥ╭͜ʖ╮ಥ░)━☆゚.*・。゚

  31. E.... B....

    I AM IN LOVE!!!!

  32. b.... k....

    one of the two songs that make me cry anD ITS NOT EVEN IN THE m US icAL

  33. M.... _....

    WELL THEY SHOULDVE ADDED BOTH, IF THIS WAS IN THE MUSICAL IT WOULD BE 10000+ BETTER (Not that It's already soooo good) bUT STILL I LOVE THIS

  34. P.... ....

    This song is so beautiful I can't even right now I just cannot even describe how amazing this is.

  35. D.... ....

    Chills OOF

  36. C.... S....

    why does 4:19 onward sound like a song from Wicked this is amazing

  37. C.... S....

    But where's the official recording of "A little bit of light" ? I Need IT

    C.... S....

    Celestial Skies samee! its my favorite song

  38. G.... R....

    This song came on my Spotify when I first got Spotify. It was “because you like Dear Evan Hansen.” And I don’t cry, but I WEPT when I heard this masterpiece. It reminds me a lot of my brother, and wow... wow wow wow it’s so amazing.

  39. K.... M....

    Love this! When do we get to see "A Little Bit of Light" and "Viral"?

  40. N.... L....

    This is beautiful and it tears my heart out of my chest and I just love it

  41. J.... ....

    Yall wanted me to cry so goddamn hard huh?, you will be found, and now this? Yall giving me a heart that i never felt, thank you and i hate all of you,

  42. V.... P....

    I can't even, these new Broadway play songs are making me cry for no reason in class when I think about them!

  43. R.... G....

    I'm crying. My father left us just this month and my mother is crying everyday. I feel the sadness of the mothers singing and i feel like they are my mother. 😫

    R.... G....

    raven gorospe I wish you the best in going forward <3

  44. J.... E....

    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.

  45. H.... J....

    I wish they kept this song! It’s so good!

  46. B.... C....

    Me?
    Crying?
    Nah
    ....
    That's nothing (ಥ ͜ʖಥ)

  47. h.... ....

    ....are we getting A Little Bit of Light?

    h.... ....

    I don't think we are 😭

  48. J.... Y....

    I added this to my Dear Evan Hansen OBC playlist. Instead of "To Break In a Glove" to start Act 2, I placed this. I think it just perfectly contrasts the first song in the musical (Anybody Have a Map?) wherein Evan and Connor have grown up and the moms didn't know what to do anymore vs this wherein they reminisce what they used to do when Evan and Connor were still kids.

    J.... Y....

    Yeah, tbh I never liked “To Break in a Glove” - this song is far better imo!

    J.... Y....

    The thing is "TO BREAK IN A GLOVE" was supposed to show how Evan struggled whilr not having a father. As much as I don't like the song, the lyrics is actually really deep and connects well to the Evan and Larry. Larry wanted a son like Evan, and Evan wanted a father like Larry.

    J.... Y....

    Although, yeah, I'd prefer this song to open up act 2 instead of break in a glove.

  49. C.... Q....

    *WTF HOW DOES THIS HAVE 2 DISLIKES???*

  50. B.... B....

    Tears. Instant tears.

  51. M.... R....

    I got literal chills this was a amazing

  52. B.... B....

    Y is there always one thumbs down

  53. S.... a....

    i wanna like this vid but its at 666 likes and i dont wanna be the 1 to ruin it

  54. C.... N....

    This is the only song I wish they didn't cut.

  55. M.... P....

    Thank you for making me cry-

  56. Z.... M....

    Wow tbh should not have watched this in public haha

  57. V.... g....

    Oh jeez this is so beautiful and while I understand why it had to be cut I wish I could see them perform it!

  58. M.... ....

    This song is beautiful, I really felt the emotions as if I was their mother and it made my heartache so bad

  59. e.... c....

    Nooo im not crying you are

  60. K.... A....

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

  61. A.... N....

    This song literally made me cry

  62. G.... L....

    "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 :)

  63. c.... ....

    THEY NEED TO DO ONE FOR A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT !!!!

  64. M.... Y....

    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

    M.... Y....

    Unabashedly Purple same here, I remember when I first heard it, I was listening to Pandora but was on the app. And I was like, “hey, this songs like it could be in Dear Evan Hansen.” Then I looked and was like oh my gosh it’s a cut song. Then I listened to it about 5 more times after that😂 And I would always say, “wow, my favorite Dear Evan Hansen song its the even in the show”😂

  65. K.... A....

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

  66. L.... S....

    key change equals goosebumps. maths everybody.

  67. M.... P....

    THIS
    SONG
    IS
    AMAZING

  68. A.... W....

    every part of this song makes me want to cry its too pretty

  69. E.... T....

    So… when is A Little Bit of Light coming?

    E.... T....

    I don't think it is 😢

  70. K.... I....

    This is my favorite cut song omg

  71. T.... y....

    Hello, and welcome to crying at 3 am

    T.... y....

    With your host: Me

    T.... y....

    Thanks for the warm welcome

  72. k.... ....

    Honestly this song makes me cry every time. I know they fought so hard to keep this song in the show and decided it was best to cut it but I still would've loved to see it live 😭

  75. S.... P....

    Saddest song ever of DEH

    S.... P....

    and it's a *cut* song!

  76. K.... K....

    Crying in the club rn

  77. L.... J....

    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

    L.... J....

    I’m about to have a breakdown listening to it

    L.... J....

    Livvy Jaz

    It was actually for a glove. It was cut for a glove

    L.... J....

    @Ikea Bird
    We needed the glove because we needed a dad song. Imagine DEH without it, Evan's "lack of a father figure" arguement would feel empty and just forced in.

    L.... J....

    Lady

    True, I just wish this song was in it aswell, I understand they wanted to keep Connors personality in the dark but this deserves to be in the musical.

    The same with Going Viral, it’s gives Jared more character and purpose, it’s a shame it had to be cut.

    L.... J....

    @Ikea Bird It's a shame so many songs got cut. I would have kept this song in too, but personally, I wouldn't cut the glove in favour of this one. I love this song and I've cried more times to this than the glove, but I understand respect the decision of the directors.

  79. L.... J....

    Wow! They convey the emotions so beautifully at the end when they sing together! This should have made the final cut...

  80. M.... L....

    The in song commentary for each part of the song got to me. Makes the song 10x more meaningful and emotional. Absolutely beautiful!
