Dear John

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around youCounting my footsteps praying the floor won't fall through againAnd my mother accused me of losing my mindBut I swore I was fineYou paint me a blue skyand go back and turn it to rainAnd I lived in your chess gameBut you changed the rules everydayWondering which version of you I might get on the phoneTonightWell I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know whyDear John, I see it all now that you're goneDon't you think I was too young to be messed withThe girl in the dress cried the whole way homeI should've knownWell maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blameOr maybe it's you and your sick needto give love then take it awayAnd you'll add my name to your long list of traitorswho don't understandAnd I'll look back and regret how I ignored whenthey said: Run as fast as you canDear John, I see it all now that you're goneDon't you think I was too young to be messed withThe girl in the dress cried the whole way homeDear John, I see it all now it was wrongDon't you think 19's too young to be played byYour dark twisted games when I loved you soI should've knownYou are an expert at sorryAnd keeping lines blurryNever impressed by me acing your testsAll the girls that you've run dryHave tired, lifeless eyesCause you burned them outBut I took your matches before fire could catch meSo don't look nowI'm shining like fireworksOver your sad empty townDear John, I see it all now that you're goneDon't you think I was too young to be messed withThe girl in the dress cried the whole way homeI see it all now that you're goneDon't you think I was too young to be messed withThe girl in the dress wrote you a songYou should've knownYou should've knownDon't you think I was too youngYou should've known
