[00:24.540]Long were the nights
[00:26.930]When my days once revolved around you
[00:36.580]Counting my footsteps
[00:39.660]Praying the floor won't fall through again
[00:48.150]My mother accused me of losing my mind
[00:53.730]But I swore I was fine
[01:00.730]You paint me a blue sky
[01:03.590]And go back and turn it to rain
[01:11.980]And I lived in your chess game
[01:15.360]But you changed the rules every day
[01:24.860]Wondering which version of you
[01:28.440]I might get on the phone tonight
[01:36.290]Well I stopped picking up
[01:38.790]And this song is to let you know why
[01:47.400]Dear John
[01:51.840]I see it all now that you're gone
[01:58.010]Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
[02:03.670]The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
[02:12.460]I should've known
[02:25.030]Well, maybe it's me
[02:28.290]And my blind optimism to blame
[02:36.080]Maybe it's you and your sick need
[02:40.150]To give love then take it away
[02:48.650]And you'll add my name
[02:51.560]To your long list of traitors
[02:55.110]Who don't understand
[03:00.190]And I'll look back in regret
[03:03.790]How I ignored when they said
[03:05.930]"Run as fast as you can
[03:12.670]Dear John
[03:16.190]I see it all now that you're gone
[03:22.370]Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
[03:27.850]The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
[03:36.420]Dear John
[03:40.250]I see it all now it was wrong
[03:46.450]Don't you think nineteen is too young to be played
[03:51.460]By your dark twisted games when I loved you so?
[04:00.930]I should've known
[04:12.090]You are an expert at sorry
[04:16.440]And keeping lines blurry
[04:19.600]Never impressed by me acing your tests
[04:24.680]All the girls that you run dry
[04:28.200]Have tired, lifeless eyes
[04:30.870]Cause you burned them out
[04:37.620]But I took your matches
[04:40.370]Before fire could catch me
[04:43.230]So don't look now:
[04:49.730]I'm shining like fireworks
[04:52.960]Over your sad, empty town
[05:19.000]Dear John
[05:22.870]I see it all now that you're gone
[05:28.920]Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
[05:34.450]The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
[05:46.970]I see it all now that you're gone
[05:53.050]Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
[05:58.590]The girl in the dress wrote you a song
[06:07.530]You should've known
[06:13.530]You should've known
[06:23.160]Don't you think I was too young?
[06:30.220]You should've known
