All success is fleeting I said to her
is that you've been reading she snapped and turned
to someone else and said 
wait why was it that he was invited 
that was fun

And if you get this letter and I hope you do
please don't get upset or misconstrue
my writing as it's not as favorable as the applause 
you got today

Why don't you say what you are really 
intending to gain by wearing on me

I still can't you thought us to be 
more ET than Steven, Nancy, and Lee
when we did they all laughed 
it was never more than an act but 
I had fun

Why don't you say what you are really
intending to gain by falling for me 
if it's true say that you'll be willing 
to believe when I feign my 
questioning stare and instinct to care when 
you clean the air again

It's not like I had alluded 
maybe if you didn't
give anything away
given your lack of grace

Why don't you say what you are really
intending to gain by falling for me 
if it's true say that you'll be willing 
to believe when I feign my 
questioning stare and instinct to care when 
you clean the air again
