So sources are saying now that John Mayer treated Taylor Swift like shit during the time that they dated or slept together or John took advantage of Taylor or WHATEVER we’re calling it these days, and honestly, I’m kind of surprised that Taylor would take it, if she did. If you listen to the lyrics of Taylor’s song, ‘Dear John’, it seems like the relationship ended and she felt sad about it because she didn’t want it to end, even though ‘John’ (AKA JOHN) was a total bag of dicks, and that kind of shocks me. Cue lyrics:
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 fineYou 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 whyDear 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 knownWell, 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 canDear 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 knownYou 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 outBut I took your matches before fire could catch me
So don’t look now
I’m shining like fireworks over
Your sad, empty town
See? Interesting. I mean, Taylor’s always kind of struck me as a “grr I’m woman hear me roar” kind of girl, and being under the impression that she’d take being treated like garbage is definitely news to me. And it certainly puts a different spin on things, too.
I think you are very lucky, Sarah. It’s very plain that you have never been in love with a man who didn’t love you. Looking back, I cringe at the treatment I put up with. I bet more than a few commenters have their own horror stories. Having said that, if I came across that guy today I would thank him, because burned is learned.
Sounds to me he took her virginity and then left or something like that.. Taylor has balls to put it in a song, most people stay vague, but she even calls him out by name.
At 19 one is smart enough to know better. I get sick and tired of people using age and hormones as an “excuse.” All it takes is a good strong head on your shoulders and think about things very hard.
Wow those are some shitty lyrics.
lol thats what i was thinking, maybe she should higher a lyricist…
Whyy are we talking about this literally years after it was released…
Because Mayer is butthurt, and also he brought it up just to coincide with new crap he made.
