I’ll lay it out and make it simple for a simpleton to see Call it easy, that won’t make it easy like it ought to be I want to make it clear for both of us tonight We can’t make this right
Cause it’s never quite as simple as “I told you so” No, it’s never quite as simple as “I told you so” And it’s never what you want until you’ve lost your hold No, it’s never quite as simple as “I told you so”
We cover messes with forgiveness and excuses not to leave But then we always end up right back where we are and shouldn’t be When every stone is turned and mud still lines the ground And there’s no way around…
Cause it’s never quite as simple as “I told you so” No, it’s never quite as simple as “I told you so” And it’s never what you want until you’ve lost your hold No, it’s never quite as simple as “I told you so”
Because I told you so And we tried…
You won’t apologize and I won’t wait for you to make amends I want your love, but I don’t want it if it’s only as a friend We gave it everything and nothing’s quite enough
But it’s never quite that simple when you’re letting go No, it’s never quite that simple when I’m letting go And it’s never what you want until you’ve lost your hold No, it’s never quite as simple as I told you so. I told you so.
