Down on the other side of things The triggers fast and light Bringing home this emptiness For which you had to fight It doesn't matter if you're giving For they do not compromise The world will keep you guessing Until the day you die And everyone will say "I told you so" Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh But I'll make a run at something real And they'll never even try And everyone will say "I told you so" Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh As I go down in a ball of flames They'll just watch, I wonder why When the people downtown are freezing Sometimes you cannot hide So what can you do its often true Then we shift away our eyes But maybe that moments ours to live And maybe that's what we were for As fate will share a chance with you To open up your door I don't understand Why you're just standing there I don't understand Why you don't seem to care And everyone will say "I told you so" Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh But I'll make a run at something real And they'll never even try And everyone will say "I told you so" Yeah they'll all just nod and sigh And tell me where I made my big mistake They may just be surprised
