Lonely Planet




I used to love holidays. It's those days when you can sit on the couch and have a movie marathon with your friends, play basketball with your brothers, ride the auto with your Dad to the family's farm, have overnight at grandma's, or stay home and cook fish fillets with mom.

I'm hundreds(or thousands, i don't know) of miles away from these people. I can only go home during Decembers and summers to them. During single day holidays or two, I'd have to stay at my dorm and I always run out of things to do. It's so hard. I become lonely. It's so much easier back home, but I'm left with no choice. I want to finish college, anyway.

I remember me and my brother when we were little. We were fighting over something and mom told us to stop it. We shouldn't fight over things. We should share and cherish things and moments we're together because one day, after college, we'd have our own families, go on our own ways. When that time comes, we won't be able to see each other on a daily basis. Mom said it would happen after college, when we'd have our own lives. I didn't knew it would happen to me before college. Caught off-guard, dumbfounded - that's me. I guess I'm on lonely planet.

Dear John,




Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps praying the floor won't 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 think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress cried the whole way home
I should've known

Well, maybe it's just me and my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said run as fast as you can

Dear John, I see it all now that you're goneDon'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 it was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played with?
Your dark twisted games when I loved you so
I should've known

You are an expert at sorry and keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you've run dry have tired, lifeless eyes
'Cause you've burn them out

But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks over
Your sad, empty town

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 it was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played with?
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
You should've known

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