Dear John

Rob Thomas

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
