Dear John - Live/2011

Gone were the nights

When my days once revolved around you

Counting my footsteps

Praying the poor won't fall through again

And my mother accused me of losing my mind

But I swore I was fine

Paint me a blue sky then go back and turn it to rain

And I lived in your chest

But you changed your 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

Oh I should've known

Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame

Oh maybe it's you and your sick need to give love

Then take it away

And you 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 game

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 run dry

Have tired lifeless eyes cause you burned

Burn out

But I took your matches before fire could catch me

So don't look now

I'm shining like fireworks over your saturday

Dear john

I see it all now that you're gone

Well don't you think I was too young

To be messed with the girl in the dress

Driving home 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

But don't you think I was too young

You should have known
