"I told you so"

Yes, you tried. You did tell me so,
you warned me, you offered protection.
Have I listened to your word? No.
I thought I was following the right direction.

I thought my love had come along
and those lonely nights would soon be over.
I thought it wouldn't take too long
for me to lay down on his soft shoulder.

I thought I was catching all of the signs
I needed to catch in order to succeed.
You told me I was imagining them in my mind,
you gave me your word and I didn't believe.

Now I must go back to my old world
where my heart wasn't ruled by a singular one,
where my head would spin and my mood would twirl
with a simple laugh and a sentence undone.

I was told the truth, which I didn't believe,
I tried to walk on my own and I failed.
I lived so high, now I'm getting used to live
with a heart going down like a piano scale.
