Told You So
Kathryn Dean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Were you really surprised when she left all your memories behind
She never said she was hurting but what girl means it when they say they're fine
And she's crying and she's dying for you to take her home
And she doesn't want space, she just wants to be chased
And for you to show her she's not alone
So don't wait and let her go cause I don't want to be the one
Who has to say, I told you so
I told you so
Of course she wants attention cause you never mention
How much she means to you
It shouldn't be news that she wants to be important to you
So don't play the fool
She's crying and she's dying for you to take her home
And she doesn't want space, she just wants to be chased
And for you to show her she's not alone
But you already know that so why are you sitting back and waiting for her to change
her mind
And telling yourself it'll be just fine, when you know I'm right
She's crying and she's dying for you to take her home
And she doesn't want space, she just wants to be chased
And for you to show her she's not alone
So don't wait and let her go cause I don't want to be the one
Who has to say, I told you so
I told you so




Were you really surprised
I told you so

The girl is crying and dying for him to take her home, to chase her and show her that she's not alone, but he just waits and lets her go. Throughout the song, Dean's tone is confrontational yet empathetic, as she sings to the guy about his inaction and also to the girl, reassuring her that she indeed deserves better.

And she's dying for you to take her home
And she doesn't want space, she just wants to be chased
And for you to show her she's not alone

So don't wait and let her go
Cause I don't want to be the one
Who has to say, I told you so
I told you so

Of course she wants attention cause you never mention
How much she means to you
It shouldn't be news that she wants to be important to you
So don't play the fool

She's crying

And she doesn't want space, she just wants to be chased
And for you to show her she's not alone
