Lyrically which is better? Dear John or All Too Well?

What's with all too well comparison lately.

All too well is and will always be her best song. She is known for her song writing skill and ATW is a masterpiece and unbeatable. 

Like how bad romance is and will always be best song of gaga. There may be better songs but BR sums up gaga image like no other song.

I like Dear John more than ATW but ATW is the "better" song lyrically

Even though I've been very vocal about my dislike for Taylor, I have to say, I'm quite impressed listening to Dear John in 2019, it's like I'm hearing it all over again, I'd forgotten what it even sounded like bar one line. Listening to it now, I can see why people do like her work. All Too Well actually has decent lyrics but it doesn't cut to the heart and the beat is bland, it was a track I never liked on Red. But Dear John is so powerful. "All of the girls that you've run dry have tired, lifeless eyes cos you burned them out but I took your matches before fire could catch me so don't look now, I'm shining like fireworks over your dark empty town." Damn, Taylor! The more I listen to this, it seems closer and closer to the rumour that he was the guy she lost it to. If that's the case, to be 19 and have your first time be so marred with bad memories is really sad.
