Dear John (Taylor’s Version) Lyrics » Taylor Swift

[Verse 1]
Long were the nights
When my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps
Prayin’ the floor won’t fall through again
And my mother accused me of losin’ my mind
But I swore I was fine
You paint me a blue sky
Then go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you change the rules every day
Wonderin’ which version of you
I might get on the phone tonight
Well, I stopped pickin’ up
And this song is to let you know why
[Chorus]
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 shoulda known
[Verse 2]
Well, maybe it’s me and my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it’s you and your sick need
To give love and 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 how I ignored when they said
“Run as fast as you can”

About Taylor Swift’s Dear John (Taylor’s Version) from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (2023)

“Dear John” is a reflection on Taylor’s short-lived relationship with fellow singer-songwriter
John Mayer
. Taylor conveys her feelings of frustration over the way she was treated by John and how she disregarded the warnings from others.
Besides the obvious song title, there are multiple references to Mayer directly, including the mention of their over ten-year age gap. Sonically, Taylor purposefully added guitar slurring to the background instrumentals, a guitar playing technique seen all throughout Mayer’s music.
The two notably collaborated on Mayer’s 2010 song
“Half of My Heart,”
which was released 4 months before “Dear John”.
Besides John’s
public statement to
Rolling Stone
in 2012
, Mayer also replied to “Dear John” three years later, in his 2013 song
“Paper Doll.”
In the song, John directly replies to Taylor’s line, “you paint me a blue sky then go back and turn it to rain” with, “and if those angel wings don’t fly, someone’s going to paint you another sky.”
Notably, “Dear John” was the third song to contribute to Taylor’s streak of having
“emotional vulnerable”
ballads as the 5th track of an album.
