Told You So


Don't be mad

When it goes bad

On you

Sour

And toxic

You can cry to me

All you need to

But I told you

And you knew it

You just refused

To believe it

When I warned you

So cry

Cry for me sweetheart

 

Sold my soul

A long time ago

You didn't have to follow

If you didn't want to

What do

I owe you

Your sacrifices

Are your own

The blood

On your hands

Are your own

They don't belong to me

I see

What you need to believe

 

I'm sick

I know it

Give me a quick hit

And I'm drowning in it

I get it

You know it

But you stay

Every day

And every night

You toss and turn

You burn

For me

And you love me

But then why

Do you cry

Why is there hate

In those eyes

Selling me

Pretty lies

Don't waste my time

 

Cross your heart

I don't care

Your prayers

Don't touch me

I am

Who I am

Can't fight it anymore

So go on

Take this heart of stone

And blame 

It all on me

Just wait and see

How it tastes

When it comes down

On you 

How you'll feel

When it doesn't work

The way you wanted it to

Just wait and see

It'll happen to you too

 

Big man

Aren't you

But inside

You're a coward

A baby

Sheltered 

Scared

You hide

When it falls apart

So don't take my broken heart

And sell it off

As your own

You my dear

Are on your own

Go on

Take this shattered soul

And try and sell it for gold

It won't be worth 

More then dirt

Just know

When you're crying

All alone

Just know

I told you so
