You were in c

t risk with a
fear of fallin
g
Wondering why
we bother with
love if it ne
ver lasts
I say can yo
u believe it?
As we're lyin
g on the couch
The moment I c
ould see it
Yes, yes, I ca
n see it now
Do you rememb
er we were sit
ting there by
the water
You put your
arm around me
for the first
time
You made a re
bel of a carel
ess man's care
ful daughter
You are the b
est thing that
's ever been m
ine
Flash forward
and we're tak
ing on the wor
ld together
And there's a
drawer of my
things at your
place
You learn my
secrets and yo
u figure out w
hy I'm guarded
You say we'll
never make my
parents' mist
akes
But we go
t bills to pay
We got no
thing figured
out
When it w
as hard to tak

Yes, yes, this

You put your

You made a re

You are the b

Do you rememb
er all the cit
y lights on th

You saw me st
art to believe
for the first
time
You made a re
bel of a carel
ess man's care
ful daughter
You are the b

And I remember
that fight, t
wo thirty AM
You said every

Braced myse

DEAR JOHN
(2x)
Long were the
nights when my
days once rev
olved around y
ou
Counting my fo
otsteps, prayi
n' the floor w
on't fall thro
ugh, again
My mother accu
sed me of losi
ng my mind
But I swore I
was fine
You paint me a
blue sky and
go back and tu
rn it to rain
And I lived in
your chess ga
me but you cha
nged the rules
every day
Wonderin' whic
h version of y
#
ou I might get
on the phone,
tonight.
Well I stopped
pickin' up an
d this song is
to let you kn
ow why
Dear John, I s
ee it all now
that you're go
ne.
Don't you thin
k I was too yo
ung to be mess
ed with?
The girl in th
e dress cried
the whole way
home.
I shoulda know
n.
Well maybe it'
s me and my bl
ind optimism t
o blame.
Maybe it's you
and your sick
need to give
love then take
it away.
And you'll add
my name to yo
ur long list o
f traitors
Who don't unde
rstand.
And I'll look
back in regret
how I ignored
when they sai
d
"Run as fast a
s you can."
Dear John, I s
ee it all now
that you're go
ne.
Don't you thin
k I was too yo
ung to be mess
ed with?
The girl in th
e dress cried
the whole way
home.
Dear John, I s
ee it all now
it was wrong.
Don't you thin
k nineteen's t
oo young to be
played by you
r dark twisted
games
When I loved y
ou so?
I shoulda know
n.
You are an exp
ert at sorry
And keeping li
nes blurry
And never impr
essed by me ac
ing your tests
All the girls
that you run d
ry
Have tired lif
eless eyes
'Cause you bur
ned them out
But I took you
r matches
Before fire co
uld catch me
So don't look
now
I'm shining li
ke fireworks
Over your sad
empty town
Dear John, I s
ee it all now
that you're go
ne.
Don't you thin
k I was too yo
ung to be mess
ed with?
The girl in th
e dress cried
the whole way
home.
I see it a
ll now that yo
u're gone.
Don't you thin
k I was too yo
ung to be mess
ed with?
The girl in th
e dress wrote
you a song.
You shoulda kn
own.
You shoulda kn
own.
Don't you
think I was t
oo young?
You shoulda kn
own.
