Dear John

Lyrics

 * Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
 * Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fall through again
 * And my mother accused me of losing my mind
 * But I swore I was fine


 * You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain
 * And I lived in your chess game
 * But you changed the rules everyday
 * Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone
 * Tonight
 * Well I stopped picking 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 then take it away
 * And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
 * And I'll look back and 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 19's too young to be played by
 * Your dark twisted games when I loved you so
 * I should've known


 * 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


 * 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 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
 * You should've known
 * Don't you think I was too young
 * You should've known
