Dear John
Thought you would like to know
That I'm doing really good
Since you've gone
Or since I let you go
Things have worked out like they should
The fear of losing you
Was much worse than the coming true

And alone is not so lonely
At least not most the time
And starting over has been kinda fun
The days are coming faster
But I am not afraid
It's just a shame
You're gonna miss my best ones
'Cause I'm gonna be a much better old woman
Than I ever was a young

Dear John didn't think you meant me harm
You just couldn't follow through
I've moved on
From reasoning the past
And all the things you did and didn't do
The fear of losing you
Was much worse than the coming true

And alone is not so lonely
At least not most the time
And starting over has been kinda fun
The days are coming faster
But I am not afraid
It's just a shame
You're gonna miss my best ones
'Cause I'm gonna be a much better old woman
Than I ever was a young

And this is sealed with a kiss
And mailed with no regrets
Once and for all
No return address
Farewell, adieu
It's so good to be free from you
My dear John
Moving on
It's just shame . . .
