I Told You So
Alana Grace Lyrics

You see me too, we smile then turn away
What's this game we're playing
It's annoyingly sad to me
We never talk
Going through motions that I never thought
It was doomed from the start
I told you so, yes I did
I told you so, in my head
I told you so, late at night
I told you so
One day it's great
The next we fight, break up, and then we hate
It's so typically dull, drama, passion, and all that mess
I told you so, yes I did
I told you so, in my head
I told you so, late at night
I told you so
'Cause lately I've been thinking
Back on times we spent together
And I realize they bring a smile
But people change, things aren't the same
We make mistakes, and reconcile
But this will have to do for a while
Never again
This book is through , it's locked, and left to dim
Memories fill my mind
as if life's in rewind for me
I told you so, yes I did
I told you so, in my head
I told you so, late at night
I told you so
The lyrics of "I Told You So" by Alana Grace are about a failing relationship that the singer always knew was destined to end. The first verse sets the scene for a relationship that has already hit a rough patch. The couple smiles at each other but quickly looks away, playing a game that's "annoyingly sad" to the singer. In the next lines, it's clear that they are going through the motions of being together, but the singer never thought things would end up this way. The relationship was "doomed from the start," but they kept going.
In the chorus, the singer repeats the title to emphasize that she knew this would happen all along. She tells the person she's singing to that she told them so "in her head" and "late at night."
The second verse describes the typical ups and downs of a relationship, including fighting, breaking up, and hating each other. It's all too much for the singer, who repeats the chorus with more emphasis this time. In the bridge, the singer reflects on the good times they shared but acknowledges that people change and make mistakes. The song ends with the finality of "never again" and the singer moving on while remembering the memories that "fill her mind."

I see your face
I notice that you're there
You see me too, we smile then turn away
You also notice me and we exchange a smile before looking away
What's this game we're playing
I'm not sure why we're pretending everything is okay
It's annoyingly sad to me
It's sad and frustrating for me to keep up this act
We never talk
We don't communicate with each other
Going through motions that I never thought
We're just going through the motions without any real purpose
It was doomed from the start
Our relationship was never meant to work out
Should've trusted my heart for once
I should have listened to my intuition
I told you so, yes I did
I knew this would happen and I tried warning you
I told you so, in my head
I've been keeping my thoughts to myself, but I knew this was going to happen
I told you so, late at night
When I'm alone with my thoughts, I know I was right all along
One day it's great
Our relationship has its ups and downs
The next we fight, break up, and then we hate
We argue, break up, and then can't stand each other
It's so typically dull, drama, passion, and all that mess
Our relationship is predictable and full of unnecessary drama
'Cause lately I've been thinking
I've been reflecting on our relationship
Back on times we spent together
I'm remembering our past experiences
And I realize they bring a smile
Thinking about our memories brings me joy
But people change, things aren't the same
People grow and evolve, and our relationship has changed too much
We make mistakes, and reconcile
We've had our issues, but we've always found a way to make it work
But this will have to do for a while
We'll have to be content with this temporary solution for now
Never again
I'm done with this relationship
This book is through, it's locked, and left to dim
Our story is over and I'm putting it away
Memories fill my mind, as if life's in rewind for me
I can't stop thinking about the past and all the memories we made
