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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
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 find 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
|
|
But I can't end this with those saying
|
Thank you for everything you put me through
|
I've come so far alone, 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
|
I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin', John, I'm gone
|
|
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 find 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
|
