"Disappear" is the seventh song in the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack and the seventh song in Act One of the musical.
Evan's conscience appears as Connor Murphy, who tells him that no one should be forgotten like he was. This inspires Evan to create The Connor Project, a group dedicated to making sure that Connor's memory stays alive, and that everyone else's does too.

[CONNOR]
Look...
Guys like you and me
We're just the losers who keep waiting to be seen
Right? I mean...
No one seems to care
Or stops to notice that we're there
So we get lost in the in-between
But, if you can somehow keep them thinking of me
And make me more than an abandoned memory
That means we matter too
It means someone will see that you are there
No one deserves to be forgotten
No one deserves to fade away
No one should come and go
And have no one know
He was ever even here
No one deserves
To disappear, to disappear
Disappear
[EVAN]
It's true.
[CONNOR]
Even if you've always been that
Barely-in-the-background kind of guy
[EVAN/CONNOR]
You still matter
[CONNOR]
And even if you're somebody who can't escape the
Feeling that the world's passed you by
[EVAN]
You still matter
[CONNOR]
If you never get around to doing some remarkable thing
[EVAN/CONNOR]
That doesn't mean...
[EVAN]
That you're not worth remembering
[CONNOR]
Think of the people who
Need to know [EVAN]
They need to know
So you need
To show them I need to
show them
[CONNOR/EVAN]
That no one deserves to be forgotten
[EVAN]
No one deserves to be forgotten
[CONNOR/EVAN]
No one deserves to fade away
[EVAN]
To fade away
[CONNOR/EVAN]
No one should flicker out
Or have any doubt
That it matters that they are here
[EVAN]
No one deserves
[CONNOR]
No one deserves
[EVAN/CONNOR]
To disappear
To disappear, disappear
[CONNOR]
When you're fallin' in a forest
And there's nobody around
All you want is for somebody to find you
You're fallin' in a forest
And when you hit the ground
All you need is for somebody to find you
[EVAN]
I'm calling it The Connor Project.
[JARED]
The Connor Project?
[EVAN]
A student group dedicated to keeping Connor's memory alive, to showing that everybody should matter.
[ALANA]
We have to do this. Not just for Connor. For everyone.
[EVAN]
'Cause no one deserves to be forgotten
[ALANA/JARED]
No one deserves to fade away
[EVAN]
No one deserves to fade away
We're calling it The Connor Project.
[CYNTHIA]
The Connor Project?
[EVAN]
Imagine a major online presence—
[JARED]
A massive fundraising drive—
[ALANA]
And for the kickoff event, an all-school memorial assembly.
[LARRY]
I didn't realize Connor meant this much to people.
[CYNTHIA]
Oh, Evan... this is wonderful.
No one deserves to be forgotten
[EVAN]
No one deserves to fade away
[CYNTHIA/ALANA]
No one deserves to disappear
[EVAN]
No one deserves to disappear
[ALANA/JARED/EVAN]
No one should
Flicker out or have any doubt
That it matters that they are here
[EVAN]
No one deserves
[ALANA]
No one deserves
[JARED]
No one deserves
[EVAN/JARED/ALANA]
To disappear
To disappear
[EVAN/JARED]
Disappear
[ALANA]
No one deserves
To be forgotten [JARED]
To disappear [EVAN]
Disappear
Disappear Disappear Disappear
