Dear John
Amerie

Dear John, right now you're probably wondering

Where I am, who I'm with

And why you're reading this

But before I go into, what I'm up to let me confess


Dear sweetheart, I know about your secret

Where you've been, who you with, I saw you out with her

And yet you always try to maintain

How I got a good thing and I can't do better


Do you remember what you told me?

'Cause I remember it well

Do you remember how you said no one could want me?

And I said time will tell


That's why I'm so sorry that I couldn't be there

To see the look upon your face

And I'm so sorry that it took me so long

So long to put you in your place


I'm writin' you this letter just to let you know

That, that I still love you but I won't be comin' back

You had me at hello, now I gotta say goodbye

'Cause one too many times you made me cry


Dear John, I'm hopin' that this finds you well

Dear John, but you put me through a living hell

Dear John, you left me with nothin' to do

Dear John, dear John, I'm leaving you, I'm leaving you


Dear John, by now you'll probably see

My clothes are gone, keys are gone and I ain't bluffin'

So don't even bother to call my number

'Cause I got it changed


Why John, couldn't just see?

I gave my heart, gave my time and I got nothin'

So it shouldn't be surprising, this letter I'm writin'

That you're there by yourself


Do you remember what you told me?

'Cause I remember it well

Do you remember how you said no one would want me?

And I said time will tell


That's why I'm so sorry that I couldn't be there

To see the look upon your face

And I'm so sorry that it took me so long

So long to put you in your place, yeah


I'm writin' you this letter just to let you know that

That I still love you but I won't be comin' back

You had me at hello, now I gotta say goodbye

'Cause one too many times you made me cry


Dear John, I'm hopin' that this find you well

Dear John, but you put me through a living hell

Dear John, you left me with nothin' to do

Dear John, dear John, I'm leaving you


But I can't end this with those saying

Thank you for everything you put me through

I've come so far alone, now I'm leaving

I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm movin' on


And now I'm so much wiser

'Cause the pain that you gave me

Never ever put me down

You only made me strong

I'm leavin', I'm leavin', I'm leavin', John, I'm gone


I'm writin' you this letter just to let you know

That, that I still love you but I won't be comin' back

You had me at hello, now I gotta say goodbye

'Cause one too many times you made me cry


Dear John, I'm hopin' that this find you well

Dear John, but you put me through a livin' hell

Dear John, you left me with nothin' to do

Dear John, dear John, I'm leaving you
