Dear John

I've almost forgotten

The pane in the window

The blue dress in the doorway

Dear John

Help me remember

the face i forget

and the traps that I've sprung

I guess I've grown tired

It's just what's expected of me

to tear your heart from the inside to the outside

You know I was wired

I just couldn't help it

the hundred thousand times i hurt you

Dear John

I wanted to say

I'm sorry for the screaming last night

and the nights before

Well i've wanted more from this

then anything i've even known

Dear John

Dear John

You're face has a brightness

that've never seen

and the years that i've known you

Dear John

I'd pick up the peices

but some scattered too far

You see they flew when I kicked them cross the floor

And i know you believe when you said it was over

You stood by me patiently waiting and broken

so deeply in love with every face that i've shown

and Dear John I wanted to say

I'm sorry for the scream last night

and the nights before

Well I've wanted more from this then anything ive ever known

Once I forget, twice I'm a fool

Three times I wrap my hands around your neck

while you're sleepin

Dear John

Don't walk out the doorway

because if you did, I could honestly kill you

Dear John

I wanted to say

I'm sorry for the screaming last night

and the nights before

Well i've wanted more from this

Then anything I've ever known

Dear John

I wanted to say

I'm sorry for the screaming last night

and the nights before

Well I've wanted more from this

Then anything I've ever known

Dear Joan
