I agree with the two comments above...also some of the lyrics have been changed. Say you see through the folly But you do it for the fame And I'm fighting the jet stream Drinkin' cheap wine on airplanes And you're in L.A., not Chicago Key under mat, I walk the dog, order in, home alone Found your letter on a full moon Sunday night Another girl, and you spell, guess he's back for a night (?) Pour the vodka, and it dulls sharp fights Breaking words, a diamond band ring And you didn't mean to do it So I don't have to believe it If you didn't really do it And magical thinking gets us by You sing for the after show, those candy colored lips But your age is showing, and you gotta work harder for it It's always easier with freshmen And I'm not as clever, if she needed a ride (?) And you didn't mean to do it So I don't have to believe it If we didn't really do it And magical thinking gets us by Fair-weathered friends Fair-weathered friends Say you see through the folly But you do it for the fame And I am fragile as porcelain Drinking cheap wine on airplanes And did I ever leave Chicago? I got your message, glad you're doing well And you didn't mean to do it So I don't have to believe it If we didn't really do it And magical thinking gets us by Oo, oo Say you see through the folly But you did it for the fame Say you see through the folly But you did it for the fame Say you see through the folly But you did it for the fame Say you see through the folly But you did it for the fame My fair-weathered friend |

Well when she premiered it, you can barely make out in the recording something about her writing this for her friend. I think that's exactly what it is. Her friend was heartbroken and couldn't see what would come. So, Vanessa wrote her a song. She tells her that everything is going to be ok, because she will find someone better and she doesn't have to try so hard because love will find her. "the goodness is something you don't have to chase cuz it's following you" (: |
