Dear John (Taylors Version)

[00:00.17] "Dear John (Taylor's Version)"

[00:11.88] Taylor Swift

[00:24.09] Long were the nights

[00:26.15] When my days once revolved around you

[00:36.23] Counting my footsteps

[00:39.14] Prayin' the floor won't fall through again

[00:47.65] And my mother accused me of losin' my mind

[00:53.22] But I swore I was fine

[01:00.39] You paint me a blue sky

[01:03.06] Then go back to turn it to rain

[01:11.29] And I lived in your chess game

[01:15.27] But you change the rules every day

[01:24.30] Wonderin' which version of you

[01:27.77] I might get on the phone tonight

[01:36.01] Well, I stopped pickin' up

[01:38.31] And this song is to let you know why

[01:46.84] Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone

[01:57.46] Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

[02:03.03] The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

[02:12.06] I shoulda known

[02:24.56] Well, maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame

[02:35.74] Or maybe it's you and your sick need

[02:39.45] To give love and take it away

[02:48.22] And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors

[02:54.06] Who don't understand

[02:59.90] And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said

[03:05.74] "Run as fast as you can"

[03:11.86] Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone

[03:21.70] Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

[03:27.55] The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

[03:35.78] Dear John, I see it all now, it was wrong

[03:45.87] Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by

[03:51.89] Your dark, twisted games when I loved you so?

[04:00.11] I shoulda known

[04:11.70] You are an expert at "Sorry" and keepin' lines blurry

[04:19.13] Never impressed by me acing your tests

[04:24.19] All the girls that you run dry have tired, lifeless eyes

[04:30.30] 'Cause you burned them out

[04:36.95] But I took your matches before fire could catch me

[04:42.53] So don't look now

[04:49.17] I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town

[04:59.26] Oh

[05:18.41] Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone

[05:28.24] Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

[05:34.08] The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

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

[05:52.43] Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

[05:58.00] The girl in the dress wrote you a song

[06:06.77] You shoulda known

[06:12.87] You shoulda known

[06:22.44] Don't you think I was too young?

[06:29.88] You shoulda known
