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
u paint me a blue sky
And go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game but u changed the rules everyday
Wonderin' which version of u I might get on the phone
Tonight
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let u know why
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't u think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should've known
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Maybe it's u and you're sick need to give love and take it away
And you'll add my name to your long lijst of traitors who don't understand
And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they zei run as fast as u can
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't u 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 u think 19's too young to be played door your dark twisted games
When I loved u so
I should have known
u are an expert at "sorry"
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed door me acing your tests
All the girls that you've run dry have tired, lifeless eyes
Cause u burned them out
But I took your matches before brand could catch me
So don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town...
Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone
Don't u 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 u think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress wrote u a song
u should've known
u should've known
Don't u think I was too young?
u should've known...
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

And go back and turn it to rain
