Dear John

Dear John, right now you're probably wondering
Where I am? Who I'm with? And why you're in this?
But before I go into what I'm up to, let me confess
Dear sweetheart, I know about your secret
Where you been, Who you're with, I saw you out with her
And yet you're always try to maintain
how I got a good thing, and I can do better

Do you remember what you told me?
Cause I remember it well (how could I forget?)
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.

[Chorus]
I'm writing you this letter, just to let you know that
That I still love you, but I won't be coming back
You had me at 'hello', now I gotta say 'goodbye'
Cause one too many times, you made me cry
Dear John, I'm hoping that this finds you well
Dear John, but you put me through a living hell
Dear John, you left me with nothing to do
Dear John, Dear John, I'm leaving you.
I'm leaving you.

Dear John, by now you probably see
my clothes are gone, keys are gone and I ain't laughing
So don't even bother to call my number, cause I got it changed
Why John? Couldn't you see,
I gave my heart, gave my time and I got nothing.
So it shouldn't be surprising this letter I'm writing
Left you there by yourself

Do you remember what you told me?
Cause I remember it well (how could I forget?)
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.

[Chorus]
I'm writing you this letter, just to let you know that
That I still love you, but I won't be coming back.
You had me at 'hello', now I gotta say 'goodbye'
Cause one too many times, you made me cry
Dear John, I'm hoping that this finds you well (Cause I'm doing good)
Dear John, but you put me through a living hell
Dear John, you left me with nothing 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 alone
And now I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm moving on
And now I'm so much wiser,
cause the pain that you gave me never ever broke me down
You only made me strong, said I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving.
John, I'm gone

[Chorus]
I'm writing you this letter, just to let you know that
That I still love you, but I won't be coming back.
You had me at 'hello', now I gotta say 'goodbye'
Cause one too many times, you made me cry
Dear John, I'm hoping that this defines you well ('Cause I'm doing good)
Dear John, but you put me through a living hell (Hey!)
Dear John, you left me with nothing to do (What could I do?)
Dear John, Dear John, I'm leaving you.
