Intro

Verse 1

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around

you

Counting my footsteps, prayin' the floor won't fall

through, again

mother accused me of

losing my

mind

But I

swore I was fine

You

paint me a blue sky and 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

Chorus

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 shoulda

known.

Verse 2

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 a

way.

And

you'll add my name to your

long list of

traitors

Who

don't understand.

And I'll look

back and regret how I ig

nored when they

said

"Run as

fast as you can."

Chorus

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 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

'Cause you

burned them out

But

I took your matches

fore fire could

catch me

don't look now

I'm

shining like fireworks

Over your sad empty

town

Chorus

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.

Outro

You shoulda

known.

You shoulda

known.

Don't you think I was too

young?

You shoulda known.
