DearJoan

Dear Joan

I've almost forgotten

The pane 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 of 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

(chorus)

Dear Joan I wanted to say

I'm sorry for the screaming last night,

And the nights before

Dear Joan

Your face has a brightness

That I've never seen

In the years that I've known you

Dear Joan

I'd pick up the pieces

But some scattered too far

They flew when I kicked them

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

(chorus)

Once I forget

Twice I'm a fool

Three times I wrap

My hands around your neck

(while your sleeping)

(so quietly sleeping)

(sleeping and dreaming)

Dear Joan

Don't walk out the doorway

Because if you did, I believe

I could honestly kill you

(chorus)

Back
