Dear John

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dear John, right now you're probably wondering Where I am, who I'm with And why you're reading this But before I go into, what I'm up to, let me confess Dear sweetheart, I know about your secret Where you've been, who you with, I saw you out with her And yet you always try to maintain How I got a good thing and I can't do better [Pre-Chorus] Do you remember what you told me? 'Cause I remember it well Do you remember how you said no one could want me? And I said time will tell That's why I'm so sorry that I couldn't be there To see the look upon your face And I'm so sorry that it took me so long So long to put you in your place [Chorus] I'm writin' you this letter just to let you know That, that I still love you but I won't be comin' back You had me at hello, now I gotta say goodbye 'Cause one too many times you made me cry Dear John, I'm hopin' that this finds you well Dear John, but you put me through a living hell Dear John, you left me with nothin' to do Dear John, dear John, I'm leaving you, I'm leaving you I'm leaving you [Verse 2] Dear John, by now you'll probably see My clothes are gone, keys are gone, and I ain't bluffin' So don't even bother to call my number 'Cause I got it changed Why John, couldn't just see? I gave my heart, gave my time, and I got nothin' So it shouldn't be surprising, this letter I'm writin' That you're there by yourself [Pre-Chorus] Do you remember what you told me? 'Cause I remember it well Do you remember how you said no one would want me? And I said time will tell That's why I'm so sorry that I couldn't be there To see the look upon your face And I'm so sorry that it took me so long So long to put you in your place, yeah [Chorus] I'm writin' you this letter just to let you know that That I still love you but I won't be comin' back You had me at hello, now I gotta say goodbye 'Cause one too many times you made me cry Dear John, I'm hopin' that this finds you well Dear John, but you put me through a living hell Dear John, you left me with nothin' to do Dear John, dear John, I'm leaving you [Bridge] But I can't end this without saying Thank you for everything you put me through I've come so far along, now I'm leaving I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm movin' on And now I'm so much wiser 'Cause the pain that you gave me Never ever put me down You only made me strong So I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin', John, I'm gone [Chorus] I'm writin' you this letter just to let you know That, that I still love you but I won't be comin' back You had me at hello, now I gotta say goodbye 'Cause one too many times you made me cry Dear John, I'm hopin' that this finds you well Dear John, but you put me through a livin' hell Dear John, you left me with nothin' to do Dear John, dear John, I'm leaving you
