Dear John

[Verse 1] So long, I lie here entwined like a helix Don't know where I begin, where you end How long do we go on trying to feed it I just know, I just know, that this can't grow [Chorus] I wrote this song to tell you I'm leaving Afraid to say these words to your face Must be better than a letter a text or an email My ride stops here at the end of the line [Verse 2] We stopped time, when we signed in the year, of our Lord, 1999 With a kiss spitting out, spitting out, time lines From the moment we locked eyes at the station our hours got synchronized Two reduced to one life, forever proposed, wicked like a land mine? [Chorus] I wrote this song to tell you I'm leaving Afraid to say these words to your face Must be better than a letter a text or an email My ride stops here at the end of the line [Bridge] Every kiss has lost its flavor I'm not proud of my behavior Beached on rock, thought that it was land Lost respect, love departed What was fresh, we took for granted Need to rely on more than just a friend [Chorus] I wrote this song to say that I'm leaving Afraid to say these words to your face Must be better than a letter a text or an email My ride stops here at the end of this line
