told you so

you say it over and over again, friend

you say you're bad, but you don't try to amend

nor your thoughts, nor your actions

do you like those little satisfactions

like the pain in the eyes of those who trusted you

when they realise your words were true?

don't you find it funny, m'dear

you tell the truth, and don't change, out of fear

very well aware you'll lose everyone you care about

but you're kept in place, crippled by your own doubt

hide behind the smiles! that's right!

don't let anyone see your inner fight

smile, and charm those around you

you poor, beautiful, never-changing fool

and when you're left alone

when everyone else is gone

out of your mouth those words go:

"i told you so!"

but what purpose do these words hold

now when you're so lonely, and, oh, so cold?

i told you so.

i told you so.
