I Told You So

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 12 months ago • 1 min read

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.”
