Dear John

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Countin' my footsteps
Prayin' the floor won’t fall through, again
My mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine
You paint me a blue sky
Then go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules everyday
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone tonight
Well I stopped pickin' up and this song is to let you know why
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should’ve known
Well maybe it’s me
And my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it’s you and your sick need
To give love and take it away
And you’ll add my name to your long list of traitors who don’t understand
And I look back in regret how I ignored when they said
«Run as fast as you can»
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
Dear John, I see it all now, it was wrong
Don’t you think nineteen’s too young
To be played by your dark, twisted games
When I loved you so?
I should’ve known
And you are an expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you’ve run dry have tired lifeless eyes
'Cause you burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don’t look now
I’m shining like fireworks over your sad empty town
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
You should’ve known
