| Dear John, right now you’re probably wondering
|
| Where I am, who I’m with
|
| And why you’re reading this
|
| But before I go into, what I’m up to, let me confess
|
| Dear sweetheart, I know about your secret
|
| Where you’ve been, who you with, I saw you out with her
|
| And yet you always try to maintain
|
| How I got a good thing and I can’t do better
|
| Do you remember what you told me?
|
| 'Cause I remember it well
|
| Do you remember how you said no one could want me?
|
| And I said time will tell
|
| That’s why I’m so sorry that I couldn’t be there
|
| To see the look upon your face
|
| And I’m so sorry that it took me so long
|
| So long to put you in your place
|
| I’m writin' you this letter just to let you know
|
| That, that I still love you but I won’t be comin' back
|
| You had me at hello, now I gotta say goodbye
|
| 'Cause one too many times you made me cry
|
| Dear John, I’m hopin' that this finds you well
|
| Dear John, but you put me through a living hell
|
| Dear John, you left me with nothin' to do
|
| Dear John, dear John, I’m leaving you, I’m leaving you
|
| I’m leaving you
|
| Dear John, by now you’ll probably see
|
| My clothes are gone, keys are gone, and I ain’t bluffin'
|
| So don’t even bother to call my number
|
| 'Cause I got it changed
|
| Why John, couldn’t just see?
|
| I gave my heart, gave my time, and I got nothin'
|
| So it shouldn’t be surprising, this letter I’m writin'
|
| That you’re there by yourself
|
| Do you remember what you told me?
|
| 'Cause I remember it well
|
| Do you remember how you said no one would want me?
|
| And I said time will tell
|
| That’s why I’m so sorry that I couldn’t be there
|
| To see the look upon your face
|
| And I’m so sorry that it took me so long
|
| So long to put you in your place, yeah
|
| I’m writin' you this letter just to let you know that
|
| That I still love you but I won’t be comin' back
|
| You had me at hello, now I gotta say goodbye
|
| 'Cause one too many times you made me cry
|
| Dear John, I’m hopin' that this find you well
|
| Dear John, but you put me through a living hell
|
| Dear John, you left me with nothin' to do
|
| Dear John, dear John, I’m leaving you
|
| But I can’t end this without saying
|
| Thank you for everything you put me through
|
| I’ve come so far along, now I’m leaving
|
| I’m leaving, I’m leaving, I’m movin' on
|
| And now I’m so much wiser
|
| 'Cause the pain that you gave me
|
| Never ever put me down
|
| You only made me strong
|
| So I’m leavin', I’m leavin', I’m leavin', John, I’m gone
|
| I’m writin' you this letter just to let you know
|
| That, that I still love you but I won’t be comin' back
|
| You had me at hello, now I gotta say goodbye
|
| 'Cause one too many times you made me cry
|
| Dear John, I’m hopin' that this find you well
|
| Dear John, but you put me through a livin' hell
|
| Dear John, you left me with nothin' to do
