[Taylor Swift - Dear John lyrics]
Long were the nights 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
Then 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 pickin' 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
Or maybe it's you and your 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 look back in 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 nineteen's 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'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 oh, oh
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
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
Then 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 pickin' 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
Or maybe it's you and your 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 look back in 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
