I just held on and hoped you'd find
That nowhere else you'd find my kind
Dear John, oh yes, I did all I could
To make it be like the wallflower
Who never could

And I knew I wasn't pure, dear John
When I tried to hard to make you sure
Life without you is not a cure

Dear John, dear, dear John

And my unsung hero lies beneath
The rooftops made of gold
He's telling me I should jump
He'll be there when I fall

So I'll step back and pretend I'm shocked
Really I always knew
That this would happen to me and you
Dear John

I just held on and hoped you'd find
That nowhere else you'd find my kind

Dear John, dear, dear, dear John
Love's almighty, love's almighty

Dear John, dear, dear John
You know that's just
I've tried so hard
Nowhere else you'd find my kind
Love's almighty, love's almighty
Love's almighty
