Dear John I'm afraid I've got some bad news
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
In case you blow a fuse
And I know how you'll take it
I didn't say this but when you find him
Give him hell
"Cause I love another man," she said
In that cold hearted letter
"Since you're in California, I went off and found someone better
And his sweater fits me better"
John was it that time you spent all alone last year
I knew you were broken and it brought me to tears
You both have been friends so long before I met you
And I know I can't ask you
To go away
Dear John
I don't know how you're gonna move on
Oh
And I know I can't force you to stay
Dear John
I've been in your shoes before
Oh woah you're gonna wind up hurt if you go to bars and stay out late
Oh John
Oh was it that time you spent all alone last year
That always brought you back to tears
You've been friends so long before I met you
And I know you can't ask her to go away
While you're standing in front of me
Dear John, I don't know how you're gonna move on buddy
And I know I can't force you to stay
Dear John
Was it that time you spent all alone last year
That always brought you back to tears
You've been friends so long before I met you
And I know you can't ask her
To go away
While you're standing in front of me
