Told You So

They

said slow down, I said watch me go,

Said I didn't know—now they wanna know.

(TOLD YOU SO!) I was right— (RIGHT!) Whole damn time— (RIGHT!) You

had your guess, I had mine,

Difference is mine crossed the finish line.

Call it luck, call it ego,

Call it anything you need though— Said I'd get here long ago…

(TOLD! YOU! SO!)

Everybody's certain when they're certain you're wrong,

Funny how the certainty disappears when you're on.

Had a hundred good reasons I should've withdrawn,

Now the same hundred reasons wanna sing along.

You talked big, I took notes,

(RIGHT!) You made jokes,

I built boats, (GO!) You saw smoke,

I saw hope, Now I'm waving from the thing you said would

never float. (TOLD YOU SO!) Could've argued.

Didn't need to. Time's got receipts—and yours came due.

(He knew… he knew… he knew…)

I was right— (RIGHT!)

Whole damn time— (RIGHT!) You

had

your guess, I had mine,

Difference is mine crossed

the finish line.

Don't need roses, don't need praise,

Don't rewrite what you used to say,

Keep that doubt, put it on display,

Makes being right taste better this way.

WHO WAS RIGHT? (YOU WERE RIGHT!) HOW LONG?

(THE WHOLE DAMN TIME!) THEN SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT— (TOLD!

YOU! SO!)
