This just might be the hardest thing I ever have to do I never thought I'd see the day I'd be living without you Now I cant even look you in the eyes Cause I know what it does when I see you cry And thats not what I wanna do So hear is my Dear John Don't waste your time When you respond I'll be gone Before I change my mind I'll just stop now and say goodbye I realize all the promises I've made To you through the years And all the times you forgave me Even when I caused you tears But I just cant do it can't hurt you again You might say that I'm less than a man But this is what I need to do So here is my dear John Don't waste your time When you respond I'll be long gone Before I change my mind I'll just stop now and say goodbye I know your probably reading this Saying this ain't happening Maybe one day we can start all over We can try again But right now I just gotta go Not coming back until I'm sure That I ain't gonna hurt you no more Ohh Ohh Ohh So here's my dear John Dont waste your time When you respond I'll be long gone Before I change my mind I'll just stop now and say goodbye I'll just stop now and say goodbye girl I'll just stop now and say good bye Yeah Yeah Yeah
