When you turn the page
You should read it out loud
Then take it from the start
Try not to fall apart
And continue
 
Never tried, never lost
So much easier to hide
We never had that talk
You need to know
So these things are written
Those days are gone
 
Suddenly I knew that time didn’t change you
Suddenly I felt that days were too long
That is why I write, Dear John
 
When you turn the page
I’m somewhere far away
I hope I’m finding out the reasons why
and where I am going

It’s a lot, I know
So I’ll tell you why I go
I was outside for a walk
and the birds were singing
“These are the rumours”
“These are the lies”
 
Suddenly I knew that you didn’t need me
Suddenly I felt my love wasn’t strong
That is why I write, Dear John
Dear John
Dear John

Suddenly I knew that you didn’t need me
Suddenly I felt my love wasn’t strong
That is why I write, Dear John
