"Dear Joan" lyrics - MATCHBOX TWENTY

Dear Joan
I've almost forgotten
The pain 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
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'd pick up the pieces,
But some scattered too far
See, 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 that I'm sorry for
Screaming last night, and the nights before
Well I've wanted more from this
Than anything I've ever known

Once I forget
Twice I'm a fool
Three times I wrap my hands around your neck

While you're sleeping
You're 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 that I'm sorry for
Screaming last night, and the nights before
Well I've wanted more from this
Than anything I've ever known

Dear Joan
I wanted to say that I'm sorry for
Screaming last night, and the nights before
Well I've wanted more from this
Than anything I've ever known

Dear Joan
