Dear John

[00:00.95] •••

[00:24.20] Long were the nights when

[00:26.33] My days once revolved around you

[00:36.08] Counting my footsteps

[00:39.32] Praying the floor won't fall through, again

[00:47.57] My mother accused me of losing my mind

[00:53.24] But I swore I was fine

[01:00.09] You paint me a blue sky

[01:03.18] And go back and turn it to rain

[01:11.42] And I lived in your chess game

[01:15.18] But you changed the rules everyday

[01:24.42] Wonderin' which version of you

[01:27.92] I might get on the phone tonight

[01:35.92] Well I stopped pickin' up

[01:38.43] And this song is to let you know why

[01:46.93] Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone

[01:57.42] Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

[02:02.92] The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

[02:11.92] I should've known

[02:24.51] Well maybe it's me

[02:27.01] And my blind optimism to blame

[02:35.54] Or maybe it's you and your sick need

[02:39.55] To give love and take it away

[02:48.31] And you'll add my name to your

[02:51.72] Long list of traitors who don't understand

[02:59.69] And I'll look back in regret

[03:02.69] How I ignored when they said

[03:05.77] "Run as fast as you can"

[03:11.79] Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone

[03:22.02] Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

[03:27.28] The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

[03:36.03] Dear John, I see it all now, it was wrong

[03:46.04] Don't you think nineteen's too young

[03:49.57] To be played by your dark, twisted games

[03:54.18] When I loved you so?

[04:00.47] I should've known

[04:11.68] You are an expert at sorry

[04:15.95] And keeping the lines blurry

[04:19.22] Never impressed by me acing your tests

[04:24.19] All the girls that you run dry

[04:28.03] Have tired lifeless eyes

[04:30.13] 'Cause you burned them out

[04:36.99] But I took your matches

[04:39.75] Before fire could catch me

[04:42.52] So don't look now

[04:49.24] I'm shining like fireworks

[04:52.34] Over your sad empty town

[05:18.34] Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone

[05:28.41] Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

[05:34.06] The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

[05:46.31] I see it all now that you're gone

[05:52.53] Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

[05:58.05] The girl in the dress wrote you a song

[06:07.12] You should've known

[06:13.10] You should've known

[06:22.64] Don't you think I was too young?

[06:29.60] You should've known
