"Told You So" lyrics

"Told You So"

I said, one day this world will take you down
And oh, it can swallow you whole
I said, one day, oh boy, you're gonna drown
I don't want to say I told you so
Hate to say I told you so

I've been trying to tell you
Trying to warn you but you won't let go
Sometimes it's better that you move on
But you just ain't willing to go

I've been thinking, your ship is sinking
And it's far too far to swim to shore
Take my hand and I'll lead you back to land
'Cause I don't wanna leave you here alone

Oh, oh, oh
I said, one day this world will take you down
And oh, it can swallow you whole
I said, one day, oh boy, you're gonna drown
I don't want to say I told you so
Hate to say I told you so

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hate to say I told you so

I've been trying to tell you
Trying to show you the road back home
But you just don't wanna listen
Now you're spinning out of control

I've been thinking, your ship is sinking
And it's far too far to swim to shore
Take my hand and I'll lead you back to land
'Cause I don't wanna leave you here alone

Oh, oh, oh
I said, one day this world will take you down
And oh, it can swallow you whole
I said, one day, oh boy, you're gonna drown
I don't want to say I told you so
Hate to say I told you so

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hate to say I told you so
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I've been thinking, your ship is sinking
And it's far too far to swim to shore
Take my hand and I'll lead you back to land
'Cause I don't wanna leave you here alone

Oh, oh, oh
I said, one day this world will take you down
And oh, it can swallow you whole (it can swallow you whole)
I said, one day, oh boy, you're gonna drown
I don't want to say I told you so
Hate to say I told you so

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hate to say I told you so
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hate to say I told you so
