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.
