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
Dear John, I see it all now that you´re gone Don´t 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 just 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
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 nineteen´s too young to be played with? Your dark twisted games when I loved you so I should´ve known
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´ve burn 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
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 nineteen´s too young to be played 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
