I Told You So
The Parade Lyrics

The words are coming, I feel terrible
I am feeling overwhelmed by the words that are about to come out, and the current situation is making me feel horrible.

Is it typical for us to end like this
Is it common for us to reach such a low point in our relationship?

Am I just another scene
Do I mean nothing more to you than another forgettable moment?

From a movie that you've seen one hundred times
Like a cliché storyline repeatedly seen in movies, am I becoming someone who is predictable and boring to you?

'Cause baby you weren't the first or the last or the worst
You were not the first person I loved, nor the last, and certainly not the worst that came into my life.

And I've got to fill the blanks in the past with a verse
I need to process my emotions and deal with the gaps in my past through writing and music.

We could sit around and cry
We could dwell on the sadness and pain of this situation.

But frankly you're not worth it anymore
However, you are no longer important enough for me to spend my time and emotions on you.

So say hello to all the boys
Say hello to all the guys who have since replaced you.

At the top of this table that you're under
You are beneath all the guys I have moved on to and left you behind.

Lipstick lullabies
The sweet songs and romantic moments we shared have now turned into bitter and hurtful memories.

This is sorry for the last time
This is my final apology for my faults and mistakes in our relationship.

And baby I understand how you're making new friends
I know how you are trying to move on and find new people to replace me.

This is how you get by
This is your way of coping with the pain I have caused you.

The moral this time is
The lesson to be learned from all of this is that:

Girls make boys cry
Girls can also hurt guys and make them feel emotional pain.

And I
As for me,

On any other day would shoot the boy
I would have been angry enough to cause harm to anyone else if it happened on a different day.

But your simple toy
But you, my ex-partner, who used to bring me joy, are simple and insignificant in my life now.

Had caused a scene like this
Your actions and behavior have led us to this unpleasant situation.

Leave him hanging on the walls
Leave a picture of him in your room as a reminder of what you used to have.

Just a picture in the hall
Just an ordinary photograph hanging on a wall or hallway.

Like a hundred more
One of many photos that have no significant value or meaning anymore.

Consider this as a gift
Think of this new phase in your life as a present rather than a loss.

When you taste him on your lips
When you kiss someone else and feel their presence on your lips,

And he's making you scream
And he's making you feel pleasure and satisfaction, maybe even more so than I could during our time together,

With his hands on your hips
While he holds your hips and guides your body, something that I used to do with you.

I hope he's leaving you empty
I hope he's not making you feel fulfilled or whole, but rather leaving you feeling unsatisfied.

Baby, this is just a fix
The pleasure he brings you is only a temporary fix and will not last forever.

For such a simple little whore
This pleasure has come from a simple, insignificant person who is only looking for physical gratification.

And your name remains the same
Even though you've changed partners, you're still the same person with the same name.

All that has changed is this pretty face
The only thing that has changed about you is the appearance of the person you're with now.

So pull the trigger
So go ahead and move on to whoever you want to be with.

It never gets closer
The distance between us will never close, even if you come back to me.

You want to start over
You might think restarting our relationship is the answer, but it's not.

But never start over
We can never truly start over because of all the pain caused by our past.
