Dear Joan

Dear Joan, I've almost forgotten

The pane in the window, the blue dress in the doorway

Dear Joan, help me remember

The face I forget, and the traps that I've sprung

I guess I've grown tired, It's just what's expected of me

To tear your heart, from the inside to the outside

You know I was wired, I just couldn't help it

The hundred thousand times I hurt you

Dear Joan I wanted to say, I'm sorry for the screaming last night, and the nights before

I've wanted more from this than anything I've ever known, Dear Joan

Dear Joan, your face has a brightness

That I've never seen, in the years that I've known you

Dear Joan, I'd pick up the pieces

But some scattered too far, they flew when I kicked them

I know you believed when I said it was over

You stood by me patiently, waiting and brooding

So deeply in love, with every face that I've shown

Dear Joan I wanted to say, I'm sorry for the screaming last night, and the nights before

I've wanted more from this than anything I've ever known, Dear Joan

Once I forget, twice I'm a fool

Three times I wrap my hands around your neck

While your sleeping

So quietly sleeping

Sleeping and dreaming

Dear Joan, don't walk out the doorway

Because if you did, I believe I could honestly kill you

Dear Joan I wanted to say, I'm sorry for the screaming last night, and the nights before

I've wanted more from this than anything I've ever known, Dear Joan

Dear Joan I wanted to say, I'm sorry for the screaming last night, and the nights before

I've wanted more from this than anything I've ever known, Dear Joan
