I just held on and hoped you’d find
The 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 admit I wasn’t pure, dear John
When I try so hard to make you sure
Life without you is not a cure
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 step back, pretend I’m shocked
Really I always knew
This would happen to me and you, dear John
I just held on and hoped you’d find
The nowhere else you’d find my kind
Dear John
Love’s almighty
