Dear Joan

Dear Joan
I've almost forgotten
Pane in the window
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
That I'm sorry for the screaming last night
And the nights before
Well I've wanted more from this
Than anything I've ever known
Dear Joan
Dear Joan
Your face has a brightness
That I've never seen
In the years that I've known you
Dear Joan
I pick up the peices
Some scattered too far
See they flew when I kicked them
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 that I've shown
Dear Joan
I wanted to say
That I'm sorry for the screaming last night
And the nights before
Well I've wanted more from this
Than anything I've ever known
Once I forget
Twice I'm a fool
Three times I wrap
My hands around your neck
While you're sleeping
You're quietly sleeping
Sleeping and dreaming
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
That I'm sorry for the screaming last night
And the nights before
Well I've wanted more from this
Than anything I've ever known
Dear Joan
I wanted to say
That I'm sorry for the screaming last night
And the nights before
Well I've wanted more from this
Than anything I've ever known
Dear Joan
