Lyrics
Dear John
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Residing, it's through, I'm all done
Try to find words
When no words
Describe just how long it's gone
I'm through saving from sending so long
Praying for a change
When no change as I wait ever comes
Now I've giving up wishing
For all my days living
I'm tired, I'm bored
And it's for the best
In the long run
By the time you receive this
I hope you feel better
Dear John
As it falls from my hands
I feel free and I'm glad
Oh, dear John
Residing, it's through, I'm all done
Try to find words
When no words
Describe just how wrong it's gone
I'm through saving from sending so long
Praying for a change
When no change as I wait ever comes
Now I've giving up wishing
For all my days living
I'm tired, I'm bored
And it's for the best
In the long run
By the time that you're reading
They'll won't be this mess
Oh, dear John
As it falls from my hands
I never felt less
Oh, dear John
