Lyrics
I've broken down once
Been spoken to twice
Been holdin' out hope against hope
Thought you were the one
Everthing was so nice
Now I'm left here alone with this note
I could have been angry
I could have been hurt
Could have drank just to get through the night
But I couldn't be bitter
Cause the more I consider
I realize she was probably right
Dear John, it ain't you
I've got dreams of my own
But there ain't room for two
Can't hang off your arm
Like your old lucky charm
Dear John, it ain't you
Now I hope that she's happy
Wherever she is
And she realized all of here dreams
Every once and a while
Hope she finds that she smiles
If she ever spares a thought for me
Dear John, it ain't you
I've got dreams of my own
But there ain't room for two
Can't hang off your arm
Like your old lucky charm
Dear John, it ain't you
Maybe I took her for granted
Never told her how much that I cared
If I'd done enough
To show her my love
Maybe she would be there
Dear John, it ain't you
I've got dreams of my own
But there ain't room for two
Can't hang off your arm
Like your old lucky charm
Dear John, it ain't you
Dear John, it ain't you
Dear John, it ain't you
