Dear John Letter

from Songs From a Shit Summer by Marc Gallagher

/

about

A friend of mine and I discussed our exes, and she gave her account of breaking up with her ex. I suggested writing about her story, reasoning that it would give a sense of perspective from my ex regarding our breakup, and I wrote this song in the style of Dead Man’s Uke whilst waiting for a fridge to be delivered.

lyrics

At my dusty desk, for a dear john letter
Sheet on the table, and a pen in my hand
The papers too thin, it breaks like a cracker
The crumbs resembling sand

Thinking of words for my dear John letter
Tell how you loved me, but I wasn't the same
My pens out of ink, and my mind lacks literacy
I don't want to bring you this pain

I'll tell you my thoughts, in this dear John letter
Our spark was like that of an old battery
The kisses felt numb, and we had no magic
I was left in misery

Solo

There's no hard feelings in this dear john letter
You did nothing wrong, it's not you its me
I wanted to change my way of thinking
But in truth I wasn't happy

At my dusty desk, for a dear john letter
Sheet on the table, and a pen in my hand
The papers too thin, it breaks like a cracker
The crumbs resembling sand
