Long were the nights when myDays once revolved around you
Counting my footstepsPraying the floor won’t fall through, againMy mother accused me of losing my mind, but I sworeI was fine
You paint me blue skyThen go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess gameBut you changed the rules every day
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phoneTonightWell, I stopped picking up, and this song is to let you know why
Dear JohnI see it all now that you’re goneDon’t you think I was too young to be messed with?The girl in the dress cried the whole way homeI should’ve known
Well, maybe it’s meAnd my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it’s you and your sick needTo give love then take it away
And you’ll add my name to your long list of traitorsWho don’t understandAnd I’ll look back and regretI ignored when they said, “Run as fast as you can”
Dear JohnI see it all now that you’re goneDon’t you think I was too young to be messed with?The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
Dear JohnI see it all now, it was wrongDon’t you think nineteen’sToo young to be played by your dark, twisted games?When I loved you soI should’ve known
You are an expert at sorryAnd keeping lines blurryNever impressed by me acing your testsAll the girls that you’ve run dryHave tired, lifeless eyes ’cause you burned them outBut I took your matches before fire could catch meSo don’t look nowI’m shining like fireworksOver your sad empty town
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Dear JohnI see it all now that you’re goneDon’t you think I was too young to be messed with?The girl in the dress cried the whole way homeI see it all now that you’re goneDon’t you think I was too young to be messed with?The girl in the dress wrote you a songYou should’ve known
You should’ve known
Don’t you think I was too young?You should’ve known
