I Told You So
I sit in the back of class
 Scribbling away with my pen
 You're in the front row
 Surrounded by guys laughin'
 How did this happen?
 You're not the person I knew back then
 
 Remember the nights we would stay up late
 Watching movies and eating popcorn
 Dancing in your living room
 Like today was our only day
 
 She floats through the hallways
 And sometimes she seems so goofy and the same
 But then someone walks up to us
 and whisks her away
 
 On her birthday she put on an act
 All these people she hardly knew
 Talking behind your back
 They didn't care and she knew it deep down
 But she played it off fine mending the cracks
 
 I give her another chance
 Everytime she wants to revisit times we had
 And then she lets me down with her hard exterior
 Who are you and what did you do with the girl who used to laugh
 
 Now you're wearing things you shouldn't
 Doing things you said you wouldn't
 Saying things I thought you couldn't
 
 The thing I can't figure out
 The one thing that bugs me the most
 
 Every bit of you that's different
 You seem to shield from the world
 And all those faces you call your friends
 Have never been here like I've been
 And after all the loose ties and bitter ends
 You tell me, "You told me so."
