Long were the nights When my days once revolved around you Counting my footsteps Praying the floor wonβt fall through AgainAnd my mother accused me of losing my mind But I swore I was fineYou 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 dayWonderinβ which version of you I might get on the phone tonight. Well, I stopped pickinβ up, and this song is to let you know why.Dear John, I see it all now that youβre gone. Donβt you think I was too young to be messed With? The girl in the dress Cried the whole way home. I shouldβve known.Well, maybe itβs me And my blind optimism To blame. Or maybe itβs you and your sick need To give love then take it away.And youβll add my name To your long list of traitors Who donβt understand. And I look back in regret. How I ignored when they said, βRun as fast as you can.βDear John, I see it all now that youβre gone. Donβt 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. Donβt you think nineteenβs too young to be played By your dark twisted games? When I loved you so. I shouldβve known.You are an expert at βSorryβ And keeping lines blurry. Never impressed by me acing your tests. All the girls that youβve run dry Have tired lifeless eyes βCause youβve burned them out.But I took your matches Before fire could catch me. So, donβt look now. Iβm shining like fireworks Over your sad empty town.

I see it all now that youβre gone Donβt you think I was too young to be messed With? The girl in the dress Wrote you a song. You shouldβve known.
You shouldβve known. Donβt you think I was too young? You shouldβve known.
