Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dear Evan Hansen
We've been way too out of touch
Things have been crazy
And it sucks that we don't talk that much
But I should tell you that I think of you each night
I rub my nipples and start moaning with delight
[Verse 2]
Why would you write that?
I'm just trying to tell the truth
This needs to be perfect
These emails have to prove that we were actually friends
Just, I'll do it
[Verse 3]
I've gotta tell you
Life without you has been hard (Hard?)
Has been bad (Bad?)
Has been rough (Kinky!)
And I miss talking about life and other stuff (Very specific)
Shut up
[Verse 4]
I like my parents (Who says that?)
I love my parents, but each day's another fight
If I stop smoking drugs then everything might be alright
Smoking drugs
Just fix it!
If I stop smoking crack (Crack?)
If I stop smoking pot then everything might be alright
[PreChorus]
I'll take your advice
I'll try to be more nice
I'll turn it around, wait and see
[Chorus]
'Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention
It's easy to change if you give it your attention
All you gotta do is just believe
You can be who you want to be
Sincerely, me
[Verse 5]
Are we done yet?
Well, I can't just give them one email
I wanna show that I was, like, a good friend, you know?
Oh my God
[Verse 6]
Dear Connor Murphy
Yes, I also miss our talks
Stop doing drugs, just try to take deep breaths
And go on walks (No)
I'm sending pictures of the most amazing trees (No)
You'll be obsessed with all my forest expertise (Absolutely not)
[PreChorus]
Dude, I'm proud of you
Just keep pushing through
You're turning around, I can see (Just wait and see)
[Chorus]
'Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention
It's easy to change if you give it your attention
All you gotta do is just believe
You can be who you want to be
Sincerely, me
[Verse 7]
My sister's hot
What the hell?
My bad
[Verse 8]
Dear Evan Hansen
Thanks for every note you send
Dear Connor Murphy
I'm just glad to be your friend
Our friendship goes beyond
Your average kind of bond
But not because we're gay
No, not because we're gay
We're close, but not that way
The only man that I love is my dad
[Verse 9]
Well, anyway
You're getting better every day
I'm getting better every day
Keep getting better every day
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
[Chorus]
'Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention
It's easy to change if you give it your attention
All you gotta do is just believe
You can be who you want to be
Sincerely
[Outro]
Miss you dearly
Sincerely, me
Sincerely, me
Sincerely, me
Sincerely, me
