Taylor Swift Song Lyrics ( Album: Speak Now and Red )

Dear John

Long were the nights

When the days once revolved around you

Counting my footsteps,

Prayin’ the floor won’t fall through, again

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 every day

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 shoulda known.

Well maybe it’s me

And my blind optimism to blame

Maybe its 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 all it 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 nineteen’s too young

To be played by your dark twisted games

When I loved you so

I shoulda known

You are an expert at sorry

And keeping lines blurry

And never impressed by me

Acing your tests

All the girls that you run dry

Have tired lifeless eyes

Cuz you 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

Oh woah oh

Dear John,

I see all it 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 all it 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 shoulda known

Don’t you think I was too young

You shoulda known.
