| [00:24.54] |
Long were the nights |
| [00:26.93] |
When my days once revolved around you |
| [00:36.58] |
Counting my footsteps, |
| [00:39.66] |
Praying the floor won't fall through, again |
| [00:48.15] |
My mother accused me of losing my mind, |
| [00:53.73] |
but I swore I was fine |
| [00:59.54] |
|
| [01:00.73] |
You paint me a blue sky |
| [01:03.59] |
And go back and turn it to rain |
| [01:11.98] |
And I lived in your chess game, |
| [01:15.36] |
but you changed the rules every day |
| [01:24.86] |
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone |
| [01:33.78] |
Tonight |
| [01:36.29] |
Well I stopped picking up, |
| [01:38.79] |
And this song is to let you know why |
| [01:45.13] |
|
| [01:47.40] |
Dear John, |
| [01:51.84] |
I see it all now that you're gone |
| [01:58.01] |
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? |
| [02:03.67] |
The girl in the dress, |
| [02:06.04] |
Cried the whole way home. |
| [02:12.46] |
I should've known |
| [02:14.17] |
|
| [02:25.03] |
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame |
| [02:36.08] |
Maybe it's you and your sick |
| [02:38.60] |
Need to give love then take it away |
| [02:48.65] |
And you'll add my name to your long list |
| [02:53.28] |
Of traitors who don't understand |
| [03:00.19] |
And I'll look back and regret how I ignored |
| [03:04.76] |
When they said "run as fast as you can" |
| [03:12.12] |
|
| [03:12.67] |
Dear John, |
| [03:16.19] |
I see it all now that you're gone |
| [03:22.37] |
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? |
| [03:27.85] |
The girl in the dress, |
| [03:30.30] |
Cried the whole way home |
| [03:35.90] |
|
| [03:36.42] |
Dear John, |
| [03:40.25] |
I see it all, now it was wrong |
| [03:46.45] |
Don't you think 19 is too young to be played |
| [03:51.46] |
By your dark twisted games, when I loved you so? |
| [04:00.93] |
I should've known |
| [04:04.72] |
|
| [04:12.09] |
You are an expert at sorry |
| [04:16.44] |
and keeping lines blurry |
| [04:19.60] |
Never impressed by me acing your tests |
| [04:24.68] |
All the girls that you run dry |
| [04:28.20] |
with tired, lifeless eyes |
| [04:30.87] |
cause you burned them out |
| [04:37.62] |
But I took your matches before fire could catch me |
| [04:43.23] |
So don't look now: |
| [04:49.73] |
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town |
| [05:05.82] |
|
| [05:19.00] |
Dear John, |
| [05:22.87] |
I see it all now that you're gone |
| [05:28.92] |
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? |
| [05:34.45] |
The girl in the dress, |
| [05:36.87] |
Cried the whole way home. |
| [05:46.97] |
I see it all now that you're gone |
| [05:52.37] |
|
| [05:53.05] |
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? |
| [05:58.59] |
The girl in the dress wrote you a song |
| [06:07.53] |
You should've known |
| [06:13.53] |
You should've known |
| [06:23.16] |
Don't you think I was too young? |
| [06:30.22] |
You should've known |
| [06:32.33] |
|
| [06:32.84] |
