This just might be the hardest thing I ever have to do
I never thought I'd see the day I'd be living without you
Now I cant even look you in the eyes
Cause I know what it does when I see you cry
And that's not what I wanna do

So hear is my Dear John
Don't waste your time
When you respond ill be gone
Before I change my mind
I'll just stop now and say goodbye

I realize all the promises I've made
To you through the years
And all the times you forgave me
Even when I caused you tears
But I just cant do it cant hurt you again
You might say that I'm less than a man
But this is what I need to do

[Chorus]
So here is my dear John
Don't waste your time
When you respond
Ill be long gone
Before I change my mind
Ill just stop now and say goodbye

[Bridge]
I know your probably reading this
Saying this ain't happening
Maybe one day we can start all over
We can try again
But right now I just gotta go
Not coming back until I'm sure
That I ain't gonna hurt you no more

Oh oh oh

[Chorus]

I'll just stop now and say goodbye girl
I'll just stop now and say good bye
Yeah Yeah Yeah
I'll just stop now and say goodbye
Yeah Yeah Yeah
