Songtekst

Long were the nights
When my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps
Prayin' the floor won't fall through, again
My mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine

You paint me a blue sky
Then go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules every day
Wonderin' which version of you
I might get on the phone, tonight
Well I stopped pickin' 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

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 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 it was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young
To be played by your dark twisted games
When I loved you so
I should've known

You are an expert at sorry
And keeping the lines blurry
But 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
I'm shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town
Ooohhh

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
