Long were the nights when my days once revolved
around you
Counting the footsteps,
praying the floor
won't fall through
again
My mother accused me of losing my mind
I swore
I
was fine You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn
it to rain
When 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
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 look back in 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 that was wrong Don't you think
19's too young to be played
Dark twisted
games when I loved
you so I should've known
Expert at sorry and keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the
girls that you 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
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
You should've known
Don't you think I was too young?
You should've known
