Dear John Lyrics

I started out to write you this letter
But it ended up another song
I'm sorry that the news can't be better

Dear John
When we started out I thought we were different
We ended up exactly the same
So in order to protect the innocent
The names have been changed
I just gotta get back to my music, to my music


And I know that we both promised forever
Forever didn't last that long
Maybe some day I will write you a letter
Until then, at least I wrote you this song

Dear John
I just gotta get back to my music
And all the things that go along with the job
Oh, and lyin' in bed with the room spinnin' 'round
It's the price that you pay when you're on the way down
It's the price that you pay
Sincerely yours
