Dear John Lyrics

by Taylor SwiftAlbum: Speak Now·2010

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
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 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
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 Nineteen 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 The 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
