Residing, it's through, I'm all done
Try to find words
When no words
Describe just how long it's gone
I'm through saving from sending so long
Praying for a change
When no change as I wait ever comes

Now I've giving up wishing
For all my days living
I'm tired, I'm bored
And it's for the best
In the long run
By the time you receive this
I hope you feel better
Dear John

As it falls from my hands
I feel free and I'm glad
Oh, dear John

Residing, it's through, I'm all done
Try to find words
When no words
Describe just how wrong it's gone
I'm through saving from sending so long
Praying for a change
When no change as I wait ever comes

Now I've giving up wishing
For all my days living
I'm tired, I'm bored
And it's for the best
In the long run
By the time that you're reading
They'll won't be this mess
Oh, dear John

As it falls from my hands
I never felt less
Oh, dear John
