Dear John Lyrics - Kirsty Maccoll

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 everyday 

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, dear 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
