I Told You So

(Picture Credit - AC\DC by Louder)

I told you so!

It must have been a blow

When she let you go.

I said from the start

She was a wicked tart

With an icy heart.

When will we learn?

Please don’t think I’m stern:

She should go to hell and burn.

It’s time to move on,

Sing a different song

Onto pastures new -

You know

What you have to do.

Right now you feel broken –

You know I ain’t joking.

Time will heal,

No matter how bad you feel.

Be more careful next time,

Don’t be the victim of crime.

Sure, you must risk being hurt

Before you can wear the shirt

Of someone loved so true

Just for being you.

Yes, I told you so,

But now you have to let go

And continue the show.

But please listen next time

We see any bad sign

And all should be fine.

Never give up –

You can drink from that cup.

She’s out there for you

And you know what to do.

Just do it.

As though you never blew it.

Rise as high as you can,

There’s a good man.
