Told You So

"Told You So," written January 12, 2001

Girl you've been crying all the time
It's so obvious he's not the one for you
Listen to what we're all saying
You're too young and naīve
I've been in your shoes
And I know you don't understand but

There will come a time
When you'll look back and say
She was right - I should've listened
It'll be too late by then
There'll be no escape
All I'll be able to say is told you so

He's been running around town
Everyone ignores it
Just like they ignore the bruises
And accept your lies
[Girl's Voice] I fell down the stairs

Girl you know its time to move on
Pack up your bags
Buy a one way ticket to anywhere
You know you don't belong here
Girl, just go

[Chorus]

Not all guys hit and abuse
Not all guys make your cry or bruise
You can find the one for you
But girl you've got to go
Get out of this town
You know it's time
I don't want it to be too late
Girl you've got to go

I figured it was about time again to write a serious song. The only time I can recall I ever really wrote a serious serious song was when Doug drowned. I end my comments there because too many memories are ramming into my brain at the moment.
