Dear_John_(Taylor's_Version)

[00:24.15] Long were the nights

[00:26.01] When my days once revolved around you

[00:36.10] Counting my footsteps

[00:39.29] Prayin' the floor won't fall through again

[00:47.52] And my mother accused me of losin' my mind

[00:53.15] But I swore I was fine

[01:00.32] You paint me a blue sky

[01:03.25] Then go back to turn it to rain

[01:11.48] And I lived in your chess game

[01:15.19] But you change the rules every day

[01:24.23] Wonderin' which version of you

[01:27.72] I might get on the phone tonight

[01:35.71] Well, I stopped pickin' up

[01:38.36] And this song is to let you know why

[01:46.88] Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone

[01:57.50] Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

[02:03.09] The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

[02:11.93] I shoulda known

[02:24.41] Well, maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame

[02:35.62] Or maybe it's you and your sick need

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

[02:48.10] And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors

[02:54.21] Who don't understand

[02:59.80] And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said

[03:05.72] "Run as fast as you can"

[03:11.83] Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone

[03:21.92] Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

[03:27.25] The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

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

[03:45.85] Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by

[03:51.43] Your dark, twisted games when I loved you so?

[04:00.19] I shoulda known

[04:11.63] You are an expert at "Sorry" and keepin' lines blurry

[04:19.07] Never impressed by me acing your tests

[04:24.13] All the girls that you run dry have tired, lifeless eyes

[04:30.25] 'Cause you burned them out

[04:37.16] But I took your matches before fire could catch me

[04:42.47] So don't look now

[04:49.14] I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town

[05:05.61] Oh

[05:18.37] Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone

[05:28.19] Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

[05:33.77] The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

[05:46.28] I see it all now that you're gone

[05:52.39] Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

[05:57.96] The girl in the dress wrote you a song

[06:06.98] You shoulda known

[06:12.91] You shoulda known

[06:22.76] Don't you think I was too young?

[06:29.66] You shoulda known
