dear Joan
|
I?e almost forgotten, the pane in the window
|
blue dress in the doorway
|
dear Joan
|
help me remember, the face I forget
|
and the traps that I?e sprung
|
I guess I?e grown tired, it? just what? expected of me
|
to tear your heart from the inside to the outside
|
you know I was wired, I just couldn? help it
|
the hundred thousand times I hurt you
|
|
CHORUS:
|
dear joan, I wanted to say
|
that I? sorry for the screaming last night
|
and the nights before
|
well I?e wanted more from this
|
than anything I?e ever known
|
dear Joan
|
|
dear joan
|
your face has a brightness that I?e never seen
|
in the years that I?e known you
|
dear joan
|
I pick up the pieces, but some scattered too far
|
you say they flew when I kicked them
|
|
I know you believed when I said it was over
|
you stood by me patiently waiting and broading
|
so deeply in love with every face that I?e shown
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
once I forgive, twice I? a fool, three times I wrapped my hands around your neck
|
while you?e sleeping, you?e quietly sleeping, sleeping and dreaming
|
dear joan
|
don? walk out the doorway
|
because if you did
|
I believe I could honestly kill you
|
|
(CHORUS) x 2
