Taylor Swift - Dear John lyrics

rate me

Dear John:

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you

counting my footsteps praying the floor wont fall through again

and my mother accused me of loosing 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 everyday

wondering which version of you i might get on the phone tonight

well i stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why

dear john

i see it all now that you're gone

dont you think i was too young to be messed with

the girl in the dress cried the whole way home

i should've known

well maybe its me and my blind optimism to blame

or 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 dont understand

and i'll look back and regret

how i ignored when they said

run as fast as you can

dear john

i see it all now that you're gone

dont 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

dont you think nineteens too young to be played by

your dark twisted games when i loved you so

i shouldve known

you are an expert at sorry

and keeping lives blury

never impressed by me

acing your tests

all the girls that you've run dry

have tired lifeless eyes

cause you burned them out

but i took your matches

before fire could catch me

so dont look now

im shining like fireworks

over your sad empty town

dear john

i see it all now that you're gone

dont 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

dont you think i was too young to be messed with

the girl in the dress wrote you a song

you shouldve known

dont you think i was too young

you shouldve known
