Dear John (Radio Edit)
Woke up this morning
Wiped the sleep from my eyes
Turned to kiss you baby
All I found was a bed of lies
The sheets were cold
Where you once laid you head
A note on your pillow
What could it have said
Opened that letter
Afraid to read
The words you write
Might make me bleed
I read that letter
I knew right then
You're not coming home
You're not coming home again
Dear John
Dear John
Dear John
Dear John
I rolled out of bed
My face in my hands
How could she do this
I don't quite understand
To steal away
In the dark of the night
Damn girl you know
That just ain't right
Dear John
Dear John
Dear John
Dear John
Dear dear John
The words you write
Cut me deep to the bone
Now I die here
On my bed all alone
But life moves
I will carry on
With tears in my blood
Memories of you
Never gone
Woke up this morning
I wiped the sleep from my eyes
Turned to kiss you baby
All I found was a bed of lies
I read that letter
That's when I knew
You're not coming home
And there's nothing I can do
Dear John
Dear John
Dear John
Dear John
Wiped the sleep from my eyes
Turned to kiss you baby
All I found was a bed of lies
The sheets were cold
Where you once laid you head
A note on your pillow
What could it have said
Opened that letter
Afraid to read
The words you write
Might make me bleed
I read that letter
I knew right then
You're not coming home
You're not coming home again
Dear John
Dear John
Dear John
Dear John
I rolled out of bed
My face in my hands
How could she do this
I don't quite understand
To steal away
In the dark of the night
Damn girl you know
That just ain't right
Dear John
Dear John
Dear John
Dear John
Dear dear John
The words you write
Cut me deep to the bone
Now I die here
On my bed all alone
But life moves
I will carry on
With tears in my blood
Memories of you
Never gone
Woke up this morning
I wiped the sleep from my eyes
Turned to kiss you baby
All I found was a bed of lies
I read that letter
That's when I knew
You're not coming home
And there's nothing I can do
Dear John
Dear John
Dear John
Dear John
