[[“Dear Jono”
By: Toniey Girl

[Intro]

[Verse]
Dear Jono,
It’s been 14 years since you passed, and 27 years all together since
I saw you last.
There’s so many things I want to say to you,
I just don’t know where to start,
so for what it’s worth,
I’m writing you this song because I never got a chance to tell you how sorry I am for breaking your heart.

[Bridge]
That was so long ago and you moved on and could probably care less, I’m just another ex from your past.
I admit that it was my loss, I left,
How could I turn my back on my best friend, lover and partner I’ve ever had,
That’s something I’ll always regret,

[Chorus]
I was just too young, dumb, and fickle to settle down, I was a wild child caught up in the party life. I’m sorry I failed at being a good wife.

[Interlude]

[Verse]
I guess everything happens for a reason,
you were always meant to be a father
of two beautiful daughters,
Which is something I never would’ve been able to give you anyway.

[Bridge]
I thought I was doing the right thing by staying away all these years,
I loved you too much to keep leading you
on with false promises,
Because deep down I knew I wasn’t ready to change.

[Bridge]
Leaving you was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made, I’ll never forget what a wreck I was, I cried for 3 days,
I knew I had a lot of growing up on my own to do,
And I felt that it was time to spread my wings,
And give up my security blanket.

[Bridge]
If only I could’ve met you now instead of back then, I’d stay by your side show you how much I love and appreciate you.
But I stayed away too long, and now you’re gone and it’s too late.
[Outro]
I’ll forever wonder if I had stayed, would you still be alive today?
