They All Laughed

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 is 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
