What are the lyrics to Dear John by Taylor Swift?

Answer 1

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, then go back and turn it to rain,

and i lived in your Chess game, but you changed the rules every day,

wonderin' 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, is 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 known,

well maybe its my blind optimism to blame, maybe its 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 in regret, how i

ignored when they said run as fast as you can,

dear john, i see it 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 shoulda known,

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 shoulda known,

you are an expert at sorry, and keeping lines blurry, and 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 you sad empty town,

dear john, i see it all now that your 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 to young to be messed with, the girl in the dress wrote you a song,

you shoulda known, you shoulda known, don't you think i was too young, you

shoulda known

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 and 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 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

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
