Dear "John"



Thank you T-Swift for writing the perfect song.


Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you.
Counting my footsteps
Praying the floor won’t fall through, again
And my mother accused me of losing my 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 chess game but you changed the rules everyday
Wonderin’ which version of you I might get on the phone, tonight
Well I stopped pickin’ 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
Or maybe it’s you and your sick need to give love then take it away

And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
And I'll look back in regret how I ignored when they said, "Run as fast as you can."

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

Dear "John", I see it all now it was wrong
Don’t you think 19s too young to be played by your dark, twisted games?
When I loved you so, I should've known.

You are an expert at 'Sorry' and keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you've run dry have tired lifeless eyes cause you've burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me so don’t look now
I’m shining like fireworks over your sad empty town

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 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
Wrote you a song, you should’ve known.

You should’ve known
Don’t you think I was too young?
You should’ve known.


This has been my favorite Taylor Swift song for about 10 months now. I can't wait for the day when the 'ghost of High School past' stops haunting me. I guess I there is still something I can learn or maybe I just try to see the humor and go with "it makes a really good story".
