A new musical from Benj Pasek and Justin Paul with a book by Steven Levenson (2016) DEAR EVAN HANSEN the Musical - Good For You Lyrics
“Good For You” is a song performed by Rachel Bay Jones (Heidi), Alana, Will Roland (Jared), Ben Platt (Evan), Mike Faist (Connor) from the Broadway musical DEAR EVAN HANSEN.
HEIDI: So you found a place where the grass is greener And you jumped the fence to the other side Is it good? Are they giving you a world I could never provide?
Well I hope you're proud of your big decision Yeah, I hope it's all that you want and more Now you're free from the agonizing life you were living before
And you say what you need to say So that you get to walk away It would kill you to have to stay trapped When you've got something new Well I'm sorry you had it rough And I'm sorry I'm not enough Thank God they rescued you
So you got what you always wanted So you got your dream come true Good for you Good for you, you , you Got a taste of a life so perfect So you did what you had to do Good for you Good for you
ALANA: (spoken) Why did Connor kill himself?
EVAN: (spoken) Wait what?
ALANA: (spoken) He was doing better That's what he told you in every single email and then a month later he kills himself? How does that make sense?
EVAN: (spoken) Why are you so obsessed with this? You didn't even know him
ALANA: (spoken) Because it's important!
EVAN: (spoken) Because he was your lab partner? Or because, I don't know Maybe because you want to add another extracurricular for your college application
ALANA: (spoken) Because I know what it's like to feel invisible, just like Connor! To feel invisible and alone and like nobody would even notice if you vanished into thin air I bet you used to know what that felt like, too!
EVAN: (spoken) We need more emails Emails showing that he was getting worse This isn't funny!
JARED: (spoken) Oh I think it's hilarious! I think everyone would probably think it's hilarious
EVAN: (spoken) What is that supposed to mean?
JARED: (spoken) It means you should remember who your friends are
EVAN: (spoken) I thought the only reason you even talk to me is because of your car insurance?
JARED: (spoken) So?
EVAN: (spoken) So? Maybe the only reason you talk to me, Jared, is because you don't have any other friends!
JARED: (spoken) I could tell everyone everything!
EVAN: (spoken) Great! Go ahead, do it! Tell everyone how you helped write emails pretending to be a kid who killed himself.
JARED: (spoken) Fuck you, Evan! Asshole
ALANA: Does it cross your mind to be slightly sorry? Do you even care that you might be wrong? Was it fun? Well I hope you had a blast while you dragged me along
JARED: And you say what you need to say And you play who you need to play And if somebody's in your way Crush them and leave them behind
JARED & ALANA: Well, I guess if I'm not of use Go ahead you can cut me loose Go ahead now I won't mind
HEIDI: I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go Is that good for you? Would that be good for you you you?
HEIDI & ALANA: I'll just sit back while you run the show Is that good for you? Would that be good for you you you?
HEIDI, ALANA & JARED: I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go Is that good for you? Would that be good for you you you? I'll just sit back while you run the show Is that good for you? Good for you
EVAN All I need is some time to think But the boat is about to sink Can't erase what I wrote in ink Tell me how can I change the story?
All the words that I can't take back Like a train comin' off the track As the rails and the bolts all crack I gotta find a way to stop it, stop it, just let me out!
ALANA, JARED, & HEIDI So you got what you always wanted So you got your dream come true Good for you Good for you, you , you Got a taste of a life so perfect Now you say that you're someone new Good for you Good for you Good for you Good for you
So you got what you always wanted
