Swift, Taylor - Dear John Lyrics
Long were the nights
When my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps
Praying the floor won't fall through
Again
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine
You paint me a blue sky
And go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules every day
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone tonight.
Well, I stopped pickin' up, and this song is to let you know why.
Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone.
Don't you think I was too young to be messed
With?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home.
I should've known.
Well, maybe it's me
And my blind optimism
To blame.
Or maybe it's you and your sick need
To give love then take it away.
And you'll add my name
To your long list of traitors
Who don't understand.
And I look back in regret.
How I ignored when they said,
"Run as fast as you can."
Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone.
Don't you think I was too young to be messed
With?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home.
Dear John,
I see it all now. It was wrong.
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played
By your dark twisted games?
When I loved you so.
I should've known.
You are an expert at "Sorry"
And keeping lines blurry.
Never impressed by me acing your tests.
All the girls that you've run dry
Have tired lifeless eyes
'Cause you've burned them out.
But I took your matches
Before fire could catch me.
So, don't look now.
I'm shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town.
Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone.
Don't you think I was too young to be messed
With?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home.
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed
With?
The girl in the dress
Wrote you a song.
You should've known.
You should've known.
Don't you think I was too young?
You should've known.

Swift, Taylor Dear John Comments
He was in his 30s, she was 19.
He had a history of kissing, telling, then publicly disrespecting the women he's dated. When the 19 year old wrote a song about him, he's the one crying foul.

before 2019 ends
i love that john called this song a cheap writing

HER. BEST. SONG
perfect song for your husband of the same name ignoring you all day
..taylor you lil spoiled shallow selfish brat !! ..you choose to sleep around you clueless moron lol
My husband’s name is Jon, we have a 13 -year age difference, if he’s going to hurt me, this will be my song for him. Hahahahaha
my dearest taylor, the deepest expression of thanx to you . your light and strength has exposed all the darkness. you are now my standard golden rule. what i mean is that the total taylor experience has left a trail of star studded bread crumbs i now follow witout hesitation. if that makes sense to you. my eternal luv to you and mom
Wow heard this song so many times never thought I’d ever relate to it, well. Fuck you for everything, fuck you for saying shit you never meant and fuck you for breaking my heart and pretending like you don’t care, fuck you.
“You paint me a blue sky, then go back and turn it to rain... Well maybe it’s me and my blind optimism to blame. Or maybe it’s you and your sick need to give love, then take it away.”
You are an expert at sorry,,and keeping lines blurry...

🕊❤ i lovr taylor swift 😭🕊❤
Speak Now is incredible album, absolute peak of Taylor Swift!
Dear you, i have loved you since six years ago, i was hoping in that time you will love me back if i can wait you longer to recognize me, that i always by your side. But not, i doesn't happen, so i dissapear for 3 years, just don't wanna see you hangout with your other new girlfriends, but what. After 3 years, we meet again, and you say you love me. I trust you again, and it works, so beautifully, but less than a month, you decide to go, just like that. And now i'm just broke. Seriously broke, like you took a half soul from me. But why i can't hate you? I'm just still thinking that was all my fault. How sucks it is
Team John
Lowkey thought this song was about him molesting her, but then when I listened to it again I realized he was just a horrible manipulative piece of trash.
been listening to Taylor all morning.
To thik that now this master belong to scooter
Well this song made me hate a guy named John Mayer
just got out of a relationship with a dude 10 years older than me. started dating when i was 19. i'm 23 now and finally free of the mind games and listening to this song hits me like a ton of bricks.
We met in the club. He was 21 I was 18. Now I'm 20 he's 23.... Wasted 2 years thinking he was the one and now he can't even stand the look of me. He told me to my face I want nothing to do with you.... Thanks JOHN
nobody is mentioning john and I’m shocked so i gotta say “BTW this song is about John Mayer”
" I'm shining like firework over your sad empty town " this is all girls who once played should do.
This song actually makes me feel really happy ‘cause I always think of both my boyfriend John, the book “Dear John” which I love and even the movie. I know it’s kind of a sad song but never for me
For crying out loud im still fuck'n hurt.. Bcuz of what you'd done. 😭😭 😭 😭 Kisses.
I kept listening to this ever since my first love left me. He reminds me so much about John. I can't stop crying but listening to this song made me realize I'm not alone.
paper doll
Inspired ..
Total burn.
John mayer played guitar and sang back vocals in the one. What a genius!
Currently listening & it's Nov. 2010...yeah!🎧🎵
John Mayer is awesome
God, she hasn’t half dated a lot of tossers and fuckboys. I’m glad she’s happy now.
Who else listening to this at the age Taylor was in this song
Is this song about the movie dear john?
No its about his ex boyfriend john mayer
But i thought the back vocals and the guitar was played by John Mayer
she is kinda of whiny when she sings about old bros
I dont wana get up again Brenda thank u for bringing me up i finished school now im stil studying my medical school
My floors fell thru go look for someone whos better than me
3:09 2019
Fuck you Taylor
Hi. I’m from the future where her latest album is “Lover”.
i used to cry over this song.. emotional abuse is real.. i was 19 to... now im with a man who loves me so much
Sounds like it’s been slowed down to .5 speed
10/22/2019
Oct 2019 cause she is the GOAT
I mean every single word when I sing this out loud but he never listens anyway
Oct 19 2019 💕
John has got real talent and is way above her league. Just listen to Terrapin Station from Citi field this past summer.
WH/DJ, am i right?
Good job
S.G. — you know who you are. You were my John. I was 16. You were 22. “And I’ll look back and regret how I ignored when they said run as fast. as. you. can”. I should’ve known. Or rather- YOU should have known.
Misss herrr soooo muuuuuucccchhh😢😢
She's the Best.😍
Oct 4 2019 taytay😘
I think I know why John called this a cheap songwriting.
Why?
(I am not trying to be rude,I just dont understand cause i love this song)
Well it could've been written in a better way. Now don't tell "why don't you write it". With the skills Taylor has she definitely can write better than this and with a little bit of research I found out that John really wasnt a good guy.
@Anime Neverland tnx for explanation
I think you cannot compared her songs(or anyone else')each other because they are the reflection of feeling some of songs are deep like dear john or archer some are really funny like me and you need to calm down.
This song is what I really want to tell HIM... this song is literally what I'm feeling right now 😔😖
Anyone here listening? 2019??
its always fuck john on periodt lmao
It’s a beautiful song
this is me, after I watched the game of thrones finale at my best friend's house
"You are an expert at sorry and keeping lines blurry" Takes my heart away. Taylor you beauty.
Taylor Marathon Starting Now
You know she's really mad, broken and devastated when she writes a 7 minutes song about you.
i feel it too
Especially considering 7 minutes is a pretty reasonable percentage of the time they datesd (less than 3 months)
@Josh W Man that jokes so rotten, its so 2016.
i have an ex like this... ahh sad days
The fact that my ex is named John
“I’m shining like fireworks over your sad empty town” is so powerful
Damn this lyric🔥🔥
Quando a Taylor fazia obras primas! #BonsTempos #OldTime
Goosebumps everywhere.
I miss this. This hit me really hard, tho
Geez Taylor, did you have to out me like this???
Plus you messed with me more than I did you!
Everybody thought that Back To December is the saddest song of Taylor but I beg to disagree. This is the saddest and probably the most painful song she wrote. Nothing hurts more than the fact that you lost your innocent younger version in the process of loving someone. That’s so devastating.
I love someone who named Johan called John
And he don't know if i love him
Im trying to forget him
But i cant, don't know why
Hope if he is my destiny and come to me and love me
She stole thos song
Amo ouvir ...2019 ...
again my mother a acused me to loosing my mind but i was fine,all this time you paint me your blue sky, but you change the rules everyday, wonder which version i will get tonigth this song is to let you know why:
wamv, jdr, fmch, hjmd, and the world who is like that:Dr Jhon i see it all know that your gone dont you think i was to young to the girl cry all the way home from Ingienieria school to my green house, you never inspired for all the things that i have done, so dont look know im shinning like firework over your sad empty town.!!!! 😨
Weirdly enough the essence of this song is quite John Mayerish!!
Why didn't Taylor know she was too young. She was after all 19. She needs to take some responsibility for her failed relationships, of which there are many. She obviously has issues of some kind. She can't make a relationship last longer than a few months. I think she is the problem, not the men she chooses to date. And why is she falling in love so quickly, and so often.
I like Taylor's music a lot, but I think she's on the road to having an unhappy life if doesn't change her her ways
Im starting to understand how she feels
Now listen to John Mayer - Paper doll
