Verse 1
Long were the nights
When the days once revolved around y
ou
Counting my footsteps,
Prayin’ the floor won&r
squo;t fall through, again
My mother accused me of
losing my mind
But I
swore I was fine
Verse 2
You paint me a blue sky and go back
And turn it to r
ain
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
Chorus
Dear J
ohn,
I see it all now that you&rs
quo;re gone.
Don’t you think I wa
s too young
To be messed with
The
girl in the dress
Cried the w
hole way home
I shoulda known.
Verse 3
Well maybe it’s me
And my blind optimism to
blame
Maybe its 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
Chorus
Dear J
ohn,
I see it all now that you&rs
quo;re gone.
Don’t you think I wa
s too young
To be messed with
The
girl in the dress
Cried the w
hole way home
Dear John,
I see it all now it was
wrong
Don’t you think nineteen&
rsquo;s too young
To be played by your
dark twisted games
When I
loved you so
I shoulda known
Bridge
You are an
expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
And
never impressed by me
Acing your tests
All the
girls that you run dry
Have
tired lifeless eyes
Cuz you
burned them out
But
I took your matches
Be
fore fire could
catch me
So
don’t look now
I&rsq
uo;m shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty tow
n
Oh woah oh
Chorus
Dear J
ohn,
I see it all now that you&rs
quo;re gone.
Don’t you think I wa
s too young
To be messed with
The
girl in the dress
Cried the w
hole way home
I see all it now that you&rs
quo;re gone
Don’t you think I wa
s too young
To be messed with
The
girl in the dress
Wrote
you a song
You should’ve known
You shoulda known
Don’t you think I wa
s too young
You shoulda known.
