I Told You So

Verse 1
The headlines burn like neon scars,
Promises broken, written in the stars.
We warned of the storm, but the thunder still came,
Now we’re stuck in the fire, playing the blame game.
Pre-Chorus
Every echo rings from the past we know,
A chorus of voices saying “I told you so.”
Chorus
Four years of shadows, four years of pain,
Living in the nightmare we can’t explain.
Every broken promise, every heavy blow,
It’s a world on repeat of “I told you so.”
Verse 2
The streets are restless, the nights run long,
We’re singing survival instead of a song.
The cracks in the system, the lies we believed,
Now the cost is a burden we all must grieve.
Pre-Chorus
Every echo rings from the past we know,
A chorus of voices saying “I told you so.”
Chorus
Four years of shadows, four years of pain,
Living in the nightmare we can’t explain.
Every broken promise, every heavy blow,
It’s a world on repeat of “I told you so.”
Bridge
Raise your voice, let the silence break,
We can’t afford another mistake.
The lesson’s written in the scars we show,
History screaming “I told you so.”
Final Chorus
Four years of shadows, four years of pain,
Living in the nightmare we can’t contain.
Every broken promise, every heavy blow,
It’s a world on repeat of “I told you so.”
Outro
So when the dawn finally starts to glow,
We’ll rise from the ashes of “I told you so.”
