Dear Taylor


In honor of my girl Taylor Swifts new album, I am going to post a little shout out.  On her new album there is a song titled, Dear John, that I have to say is so honest, and strong, it always suprises me that she is so young.  I remember those times and that age and those boys, and this song pretty much covers it all.  There is such a strength to her voice, that I hope that girls or women out there everywhere look to her as a hero and an icon.  There will be this person in every womans life and to know that Taylor Swift called out one of the biggest "playboys" out there, is amazing!  You go girl!  To you, I say THANK YOU!  Thank you for your honesty and heart, no matter how hard it was to go through in the first place.

Dear John

Long were the nights when the days once revolved around you

Counting the footsteps, praying the floor wont fall through
Again
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine

You paint me a blue sky
And go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game but you changed the rules everyday
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone
Tonight
Well I stopped picking up and this song is to let you know why

Dear john I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
Should have known
Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Maybe it's you and you're sick need to give love and take it away
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
And il look back and regret who I ignored when they said run as fast as you can

Dear john I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress, cried the whole way home

Dear john, I see it all now that was wrong
Don't you think nineteens too young to be played by your dark twisted games
When I loved you so
I should have known
You are an expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you...
Who talk
Cause you burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks

Over your...

Dear john I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress, cried the whole way home

I see it all that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with
The girl in the dress who wrote you a song
You should have known
You should have known



Don't you think I was too young
You should have known

So do you still think John Mayer is a God?

I love Taylor, so fiesty.

Did you hear she is dating Jake Gyllenhaal. Major step up from John Mayer (IMO).

So I had listened to the song before but not read the lyrics and I must say I am so impressed by her. Someone actually called him out. Funny that a 20 year old is smarter and more clever than all the other lasses he dated (well except J.Simps, I think we all know shes not too smart or clever).

Also, love the line "long were the nights when my days revolved around you".

You really have to give it to her. I think she handed the biggest burn ever to the guy that thinks know one understands him because he is witty.

Just saw a clip of her on David Letterman last night. She is so smart and funny. John Mayer seriously needs to grow up and get over himself.

she's a wise one...my favorite song is enchanted. :) miss you!!

oh katie--are those jake gyllenhaal rumors true!?! can't wait to hear the song for that one.

john mayer did an interview and said "taylor is the biggest star that doesn't know she is a star" kinda funny.
