Dear John - Music Sounds Better With You

Long were the nights

When my days once revolved around you

Counting my footsteps'

Praying the floor won't fall through' again

My 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

Wondering which version 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

Don't 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 it's me

And my blind optimism to blame

Maybe it's 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 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

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 19 is too young to be played

By your dark twisted games' when I loved

You so

I should've known

You are an expert at sorry

And keeping lines blurry

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

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've known

You should've known

Don't you think I was too young

You should've known
