Dear Joan

Dear Joan

I've almost forgotten, the pane in the window

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

That I'm sorry for the screaming last night

And the nights before

Well 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 pick up the pieces, but some scattered too far

You see they flew when I kicked them

 

I know you believed me 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

 

Chorus

 

Once I forget, twice I'm a fool, three times I've wrapped my hands around your neck

While you're sleepin', you're quietly sleepin', sleepin' and dreamin'

Dear Joan

Don't walk out that doorway

Because if you did

I believe I could honestly kill you
