Oh dear John

I hate to be the one to break the news

But it's concerning me and you

This is the letter no one ever wants to write

You may not believe me

But it's the hardest thing I've ever done

My eyes see other glories

Other dreams and other stories

And I want to live before I die dear John

Ten years on

I still dream and we still hesitate

The passion's all but gone

Oh dear John

Seems we have a bad day every day

I want to sleep my life away

This is the letter no one ever wants to read

And though it hurts like hell

It may be what you need to tell you

I never wanted to be cruel

But I'm so tired of being the strong one

And I don't always have the energy

And you always leave it up to me John

My eyes have seen the glory

There's more to life than my life story

And I'll probably never find him

But I have to keep on looking

And I'm very very sorry dear John

Oh john
