Cover art for Dear Joan lyrics by Matchbox Twenty

It's about being an emotionally abusive person. It's tough knowing that you're doing these things to hurt someone, but not being able to stop it. You just keep apologizing over and over, but it never changes anything. It's espescially hard when you both love each other a lot. It's a really cool song to me, very haunting, no matter who did it.
