Dear Joan I've almost forgotten the pain 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 brightness That I've never seen In the years that I've known you Dear Joan I'll pick up the pieces But some traveled so far They flew when I kicked them Across the room 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 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 you're sleeping 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
