told you so
m. morello
c.2005, new view music


this one goes out
to all of the people who said
that i'd never make it
well, look at me now
runnin' with my own crowd
and livin' life with the top down
i heard you say
that life isn't fair
but look at you now
you're headin' nowhere fast

i can see your heart's not in this
i can tell you're goin' through the motions
but i made it this far
so much better than you think you are
surprising as it seems
i'm livin' out your dreams
and i've waited all this time to say
that i told you so

shoulda', woulda', coulda'
but you didn't
though i did
at this rate
i can't wait
to see the look on your face
i'll be around quite a bit
so get used to it
i bet you never thought
that you would see the day

i can see your heart's not in this
i can tell you're goin' through the motions
but i made it this far
so much better than you think you are
surprising as it seems
i'm livin' out your dreams
and i've waited all this time to say
that i told you so
i told you so
i told you so

never understood
what popularity means
probably just sacrificin'
a couple of your dreams
they won't remember
what you did back then
they just smile and say
"what do you have to show for yourself today"

i can see your heart's not in this
i can tell you're goin' through the motions
but i made it this far
so much better than you think you are
surprising as it seems
i'm livin' out your dreams
and i've waited all this time to say
that i told you so
i told you so
i told you so

same line, love
same pace, love
same time, love
same place, love
same channel for you
to tune into
to hear me say
i told you so
i told you so
i told you so
