I read Jessica Simpson's autobiography (a surprisingly great read, btw!) and OH MY GOD this guy is the biggest asshole. 100% NVM.

Apparently he kept breaking up with her bc it somehow inspired his songwriting, while just not giving a shit what it did to her. Broke up with her like immediately before she had a big televised show. Talked about their sex life to the press. Fucked with her head so much she had her friends proof read her texts before she messages him. What a shitty human being.

"Dear John" by Taylor Swift (Lyrics)

Long were the nights when my

Days once revolved around you

Counting my footsteps

Praying the floor won't fall through, again

My mother accused me of losing my mind, but I swore

I was fine

You paint me blue sky

Then go back and turn it to rain

When I lived in your chess game

But you changed the rules every day

Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone

Tonight

Well I stopped picking up, and this song is to let you know why

Dear John

I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

I should've known

Well, maybe it's me

And my blind optimism to blame

Or maybe it's you and your sick need

To give love then take it away

And you'll add my name to your long

List of traitors who don't understand

And I'll look back and regret

I ignored when they said, "Run as fast as you can"

Dear John

I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

Dear John

I see it all now, it was wrong

Don't you think nineteen's

Too young to be played by your dark twisted games?

When I loved you so

I should've known

You are an expert at sorry

And keeping lines blurry

Never impressed by me acing your tests

All the girls that you run dry

Have dried lifeless eyes

'Cause you burned them out

But I took your matches before fire could catch me

So don't look now

I'm shining like fireworks

Over your sad empty town

Dear John

I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home

I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

The girl in the dress wrote you a song

You should've known

Don't you think I was too young?

You should've known
