Lyrics
Everybody was talking to me, like I was a child
Perceived condescension, feeling like others treat the speaker as a child.
In their words I could hear them saying,
Others express a belief that a significant change is inevitable for the speaker.
it's just a matter of time
Implying that change is just a matter of time.
Anyway it's a long long race been run
Acknowledging a lengthy and challenging journey.
Anyway it's a sad sad song been sung
Recognizing a sorrowful experience that has already occurred.
Dear John goodbye she said
A farewell message addressed to John, indicating a separation.
Sometimes it's hard she said
Acknowledging the difficulty of the situation.
Dear John I've broken away
Explicitly stating the speaker's decision to break away from John.
Vanity is hard old lady, you can't read her mind
Describing vanity as a challenging character, difficult to understand.
I'm a fool but I don't fool easy,
Admitting foolishness but asserting that the speaker is not easily deceived.
while you're foolin' around
Addressing John's unfaithfulness or deceptive behavior.
Anyway I can hold my own tonight
Confidently asserting the speaker's ability to stand firm tonight.
I admit I was wrong and you where right
Accepting fault and acknowledging John's correctness in a past situation.
Dear John goodbye she said
Repeating the farewell message to John.
Sometimes it's hard she said
Reiterating the difficulty of the situation.
Dear John I've broken away
Reaffirming the speaker's decision to break away from John.
Dear John goodbye she said
Repeating the farewell message to John.
Sometimes it's hard she said
Reiterating the difficulty of the situation.
Dear John I've broken away
Reaffirming the speaker's decision to break away from John.
Dear John goodbye she said
Repeating the farewell message to John.
Sometimes it's hard she said
Reiterating the difficulty of the situation.

Reaffirming the speaker's decision to break away from John.
Everybody was talking to me, like I was a child
Recalling the initial feeling of being talked to like a child.
In their words I could hear them saying,
Revisiting the words suggesting an inevitable change.
it's just a matter of time
Reiterating the idea that change is just a matter of time.
Anyway it's a long long race been run
Acknowledging the completion of a lengthy and challenging journey.
Anyway it's a sad sad song been sung
Recognizing the sorrowful experience that has already occurred.
