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.
You came 'round today
You never even knocked on my door
Your note tried to say
That you don't love me no more
bridge:
I want you by my side cause
I wanna be your man
I'm burning up inside cause
I wanna be your man
I had to be told
From people that I meet in the street
They are turning cold
Without you I would not be complete
bridge:
Why did you write me in a letter
A word from you would be much better
lead
bridge
Don't cast me aside
Without you I could never survive
Why did you decide
To kill the love that keeps me alive
