Oh dear John
I hate to be the one to break the news
But it's concerning me and you

This is the letter no-one ever wants to write
You may not believe me but it's the hardest thing I've ever done
My eyes see other glories

Other dreams and other stories
And I want to live before I die


Dear John
Ten years on
I still dream and we still hesitate

The passion's all but gone

Oh dear John

Seems we have a bad day every day
I want to sleep my life away
This is the letter no-one ever wants to read

And though it hurts like hell
It may be what you need to tell you
I never wanted to be cruel

But I'm so tired of being the strong one
And I don't always have the energy
And you always leave it up to me

Dear John

My eyes have seen the glory

There's more to life than my life story
And I'll probably never find him
But I have to keep on looking

And I'm very very sorry dear John
