Verse 1
Long were the nights when
My days once revolved around
you
Counting my footsteps
Praying the floor won't fa
ll through... again
My mother accused me of l
osing my mind
But I sw
ore 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 e
veryday
W
onderin' which version of
you I might get
on the
phone, tonight
W
ell I stopped pickin' up and t
his song is
to let you know
why
Chorus
De
ar John, I see it all now that you're
gone
Don't you think I was too yo
ung to be messed with
The
girl in the dress cried the wh
ole way home
I shoulda'
known
Verse 2
Well
maybe it's me
And my blind optimism t
o blame
Or
maybe it's you and your sick need
To give love and take i
t away
A
nd you'll add my name to your l
ong list of traitors
Wh
o don't understand
And I
look back in regret how I
ignored when they said
"Run as
fast as you can"
Chorus
Dea
r John, I see it all now that you'
re gone
Don't you think I was too y
oung to be messed with
The gi
rl in the dress cried the wh
ole way home
Dea
r John, I see it all now it was
wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too
young
To be played by your da
rk, twisted games
When I l
oved you so?
I shoulda
' known
Bridge
You are an
expert at sorry
And ke
eping the lines blurry
Nev
er impressed by me acing your tests
All the gir
ls that you've run dry have
tired lifeless eyes
'Cause you b
urned them out
But I
took your matches
Bef
ore fire could catch me
So do
n't look now
I'm s
hining like fireworks
Ov
er your sad empty tow
n, yeah
Oh,
oh, oh,
oh, oh,
oh
Chorus
Dear
John, I see it all now that you'
re gone
Don't you think I was too y
oung to be messed with
T
he girl in the dress cried the
whole way home
Outro
I
see it all now that yo
u're gone
Don't you think I was too y
oung to be messed with
T
he girl in the dress
Wrote
you a song, you shoulda'
known
You shoulda'
known
Don
't you think I was
too young
You shoulda'
know
