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 mymy 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 chest game
But you changed the 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 way home
I should've known
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Maybe it's you and your sick
Need to give love and take it away
And you'll add my name
To your long list of traitors who don't understand
And I look back in regret
I ignored when they said run as fast as you can
Dear john
See itnow that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed
Withthe girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home
Dear john
I see it all nowI was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young
To be played by your dark twisted games
When I loved you
SoI should've known
You are an expert at story and keeping lines blurry
You never impressed by me
Acing your tests all the girls that you run dry
Have tired lifeless eyes cause you burned them
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don't look now
I'm shining like fireworksover your sad empty town
Zero john
See it on now that
You're gone
Don't you think I was too young
To be messed with the girl in the dress
Ride the long way home
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think god is too young
To be messed with the girl in the dress
Wrote you a song you should've known
Should've known
Don't you think I was too young
You should've known
