Dear Joan Songtext

von Rob Thomas

Dear joan
I've almost forgotten the pain in the window
The blue dress in the doorway
Dear joan
Help me remember the face I forget
And the traps that i've sprung

I guess i've grown tired
It's just what's expected for me
To tear your heart
From the inside to the outside
You know I was wired
I just couldn't help it
The hundred thousand times
I hurt you

Dear joan I wanted to say
I'm sorry for the screaming last night
And the nights before
I've wanted more from this
Than anything i've ever know
Dear joan

Dear joan
Your face has brihgtness
That i've never seen
In the years that i've known you
Dear joan
I'd pick up the pieces
But some traveled too far
They flew when I kicked them
Across the room

I know you believed when I said it was over
You stood by me patiently waiting and brooding
So deeply in love
With every face that i've shown

Dear joan I wanted to say
I'm sorry for the screaming last night
And the nights before
I've wanted more from this
Than anything i've ever know
Dear joan

Once I forget
Twice i'm a fool
Three times I wrap my hands around your neck
While your sleeping

Dear joan
Don't walk out the doorway
Because if you did
I believe I could honestly kill you

Dear joan I wanted to say
I'm sorry for the screaming last night
And the nights before
I've wanted more from this
Than anything i've ever know
Dear joan
