John Mayer's song about Jennifer Aniston

[Chalet]

John Mayer is finally ready to let go of Jennifer Aniston -- in song.



Although they split nearly three years ago, the 34-year-old singer (whose exes also include Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt) penned his single "Shadow Days" (from the album Born and Raised) with Aniston, 43, in mind.

"Shadow Days is about Jen," a source tells Us Weekly. "It really took him a long time to get over her. He really loved her a lot."

Sings Mayer in the song: ""You find yourself alone. . . I found myself in pieces/ On my hotel floor/Hard times help me see/I'm a good man with a good heart/Had a tough time, got a rough start/And I finally learned to let it go."

Explains the source: "He wrote the song as a farewell letter knowing [Jen] would hear it. Ultimately he's done a lot of self reflection though and it he realizes they weren't right for each other."

The rocker and the Horrible Bosses actress first got together in April 2008 and, after multiple breakups, called it quits for good in late 2009. Aniston has been happily ensconced with Justin Theroux for over a year now.

"[John and Jen] weren't right for each other, but he is really a good guy."

After high-profile flameouts both Simpson, 31, and then Aniston, Mayer is done dating celebs, the source adds. "He's looking for a nice, non famous girl he can relate to. . . He loved [Jen and Jessica] both but it really affected him emotionally and it wasn't worth it."

[greysfang]

Bitch please.

I love that the lyrics fail to mention what a mouthy shitbag he is.

[HWBL]

I don't care about either of them, but I kinda like his music. It's harmless.

[Lalasnake]

This asshole is such a douche. I can't believe any woman is willing to date him, knowing what kind of things he'll say if they ever break up.

[Sasha]

Haha, are you kidding me?? Sheesh. He's such a famewhore douchebag.

[witchcurlgirl]

Dude, take a lesson from Carly Simon and don't tell who you wrote it about.

[Sasha]

Warren Beatty.

Is it a song about her chin, and the large shadow it casts ???

You find yourself alone...on the outside lookin' in...that's the shit that happens....in the shadow of her chin..."

*BITTER bows*

That's better than anything Mayer ever wrote.

I love that the lyrics fail to mention what a mouthy shitbag he is.

not to mention, he always seems like such a self-important whiner...

but whenever Mayer is mentioned, I always think of "fluffernutter" sandwiches and how that must secretly mean something extremely disgusting.

[fattymatty]

I would love it if they got back together. Hilarious times.

Now I need to know more...

I am a good man, with a good heart... NO way this is autobiographic, now if he had song I am a douche who likes golden showers then it would sound more believable.

Although the new piece of Le Chin looks like he does not mind a shower in a golden shade now and then.
