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 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'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
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
