long were the night when my days once revolved around you
counting my footsteps praying the floor won't fall through again
and my mother accused me of losing my mind
but i swore i was fine

you paint me a blue sky and go back turn it to rain
and i lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules everyday
wondering which version of you 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??
a girl in the dress cried the whole way home
i should've known

Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Maybe it's you and you're sick need to give love and take it away
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 ignored when they said run as fast as you can

Dear John, I see it all now, it was wrong
Don't you think 19's too young to be played by your dark twisted games
When I loved you so
I should have known

You are an expert at "sorry"
And keeping lines blurry
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 don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town...

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
You should have known
You should have known

Don't you think I was too young?
You should have known...
