Sincerely Me
Mike Faist Ben Platt Lyrics

Dear Evan Hansen
Starting the email by addressing Evan Hansen

We've been way too out of touch
We haven't talked in a while

Things have been crazy
Life has been hectic

And it sucks that we don't talk that much
It's sad that we don't communicate often

But I should tell you that I think of you each night
Despite the lack of communication, I still think of you regularly

I rub my nipples and start moaning with delight
This line appears to be a joke but it serves to show the character's inappropriateness and dysfunction

Why would you write that?
Evan's confusion and shock in response to what he read

I'm just trying to tell the truth
The character is attempting to be honest in his message to Connor

This needs to be perfect these emails have to prove that we were actually friends
The character is focused on making his emails appear legitimate

Just I'll do it
The character takes control of the situation and insists on doing it himself

I've gotta tell you, life without you has been hard (Hard?)
The character admits that life has been difficult without Connor

Has been bad (Bad?)
Life has also been challenging

Has been rough (Kinky!)
The character inserts a joke but this reveals their immaturity and lack of empathy

And I miss talking about life and other stuff
The character misses having conversations with Connor

Very specific Shut up!
A dismissive response to a comment from Connor that is likely sarcastic or critical

I like my parents
The character expresses affection for their family

Who says that?
Connor is surprised by the randomness of the statement

I love my parents but each day's another fight
Despite the love, there are still many conflicts and issues in the family dynamic

If I stop smoking drugs
The character recognizes that their drug use is a problem

Then everything might be alright
Stopping drug use might lead to improvements in their life

Smoking drugs? (Just fix it!)
Connor is once again critical of the character's behavior

If I stop smoking crack (Crack?!)
The character escalates to more severe drug use to emphasize the point

If I stop smoking pot
The character acknowledges a lesser drug use habit

I'll take your advice
The character seems open to listening to Connor's feedback

I'll try to be more nice
The character will make an effort to be kinder

I'll turn it around
The character will start behaving better

Wait and see
The character expects positive changes to happen soon

Cause all that it takes is a little reinvention
The character believes that small changes can lead to big improvements

It's easy to change if you give it your attention
The change will be simple as long as the character focuses on it

All you gotta do is just believe you can be who you want to be
The character shares a hopeful message that anyone can change themselves

Sincerely, Me
The character ends the email with their signature

Are we done yet?
Connor wants to be finished with the email exchange

Well I can't just give them one email I want to show that I was, like, a good friend, you know?
The character is overly concerned with making their email exchange look legitimate

Oh my god
Connor is annoyed by the character's obsession with the emails

Dear Connor Murphy, Yes, I also miss our talks
The character begins another email to Connor

Stop doing drugs Just try to take deep breaths and go on walks (no)
The character shares advice with Connor, which is met with resistance

I'm sending pictures of the most amazing trees (No)
The character offers something they consider interesting or valuable, which Connor does not appreciate

You'll be obsessed with all my forest expertise (Absolutely not)
The character assumes that their interest in trees will be shared by Connor, but they are wrong

Dude, I'm proud of you
The character offers a positive sentiment to Connor

Just keep pushing through
The character encourages Connor to persevere through his difficulties

You're turning around
The character believes that Connor is making progress

I can see
The character has faith in Connor and his ability to change

My sister's hot
The character once again inserts an inappropriate comment

What the hell! (My bad)
Connor is upset by the comment, but the character tries to brush it off as a joke

Thanks for every note you send
The character shows appreciation for Evan's correspondence

I'm just glad to be your friend
The character values his friendship with Connor

Our friendship goes beyond
The character believes that their relationship is special and meaningful

Your average kind of bond
The character thinks that their friendship is not ordinary

No, not because we're gay
The character wants to clarify that their friendship is not based on romantic attraction

We're close, but not that way
The character confirms that he and Connor are not in a romantic relationship

The only man that I love is my dad
The character shares a personal detail about his love for his father

You're getting better every day
The character encourages Connor's progress once again

We're getting better every day
The character speaks for both of them, emphasizing their joint effort

Hey hey hey hey!
A jubilant and optimistic expression of their positive outlook

Miss you dearly
The character expresses missing Evan
