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 

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 every day 

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 

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 is 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 run dry 

With 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
