Dear John, you know what’s coming
Dear John, a most disheartening thing
Dear John, you know what’s happening
Dear John, it’s time to part ways

Dear John, I’ve tried my best
Dear John, I’ve given it a shot
Dear John, I’ve chosen to leave our nest
Dear John, it’s time to part ways

Dear John, I cannot last
Dear John, my resilience is fading
Dear John, it’s time to put us in the past
Dear John, it’s time to part ways

Dear John, we’ve played our part
Dear John, we gave it a good run
Dear John, I’ve gotta break your heart
Dear John, it’s time to part ways

Dear John, my love is fading
Dear John, my health is failing
Dear John, my heart is aching
Dear John, it’s time to part ways

Dear John, try your best to forget me
Dear John, I’ve almost forgotten you
Dear John, go live and be free
Dear John, it’s time to part ways
