written for one

i won't pretend to know your story i won't send my sympathy i'll just shoulder some empathy and give you my highest regards i'm not saying i have the slightest idea i'm not saying that you have the smallest incling either it's better to not even try to pretend i'm not gonna play like i know exactly what's going on i won't play like i know your history i'm not gonna say that i know just what you've been through as long as you admit that you've never been through my time you don't know the beginning and i'm sure you won't stick around for the ending not that i'm asking no, i'm just assuming this isn't a judge of your character in fact, this is nothing in particular just thought i'd send a little reminder to let you know i'm not a fake i won't tell you that i know all the answers i don't know how it started or why this is it i don't manufacture those storybook endings and happily ever afters are for those who are luckiest let's go by the script, shall we? what's in it for me? something completely different from what's in it for you so let's cut to the chase i don't know your history and i'm pretty sure that you just don't know mine let's shake hands and find some sort of agreement i'll write you something pretty you'll send me a little letter please tell me you signed it with highest regards hold back the sympathy save me the empathy because these types of stories are written for one
