Intro
Long were the nights when my
days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps praying
the floor won't fall through
again
And 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
everyday
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
Chorus
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
Verse
Well 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'll look back and regret
how I ignored when they said
Run as fast as you can
Chorus
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's too young
to be played by
Your dark twisted games when I
loved you so
I should've known
Instrumental
Bridge
You are an expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your
tests
All the girls that you've 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
I'm shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town
Instrumental
Chorus
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
