I'll give you top marks
for all the right words
for drunken sincerity
and the perfect delivery

I'll give you props
you had me going there
had me believing
that I had won

but did you really think
that we could just go on
did I really think
that I could suddenly be prime time

congratulations
I feel like such a fool
just kept believing
because I wanted to

bravissimo dear
you really sold the part
the down on his luck journeyman
who's out to break my heart
