I just held on and hoped you'd find

The nowhere else you'd find my kind

Dear John, oh yes I did all I could

To make it be like the wallflower who never could

And I admit I wasn't pure, dear John

When I try so hard to make you sure

Life without you is not a cure

Dear John



And my unsung hero lies beneath

The rooftops made of gold

He's telling me I should jump

He'll be there when I fall

So I step back, pretend I'm shocked

Really I always knew

This would happen to me and you, dear John

I just held on and hoped you'd find

The nowhere else you'd find my kind

Dear John

Love's almighty
