I Told You So

Promise my life security
Promise me everlasting peace
Promise me you'll leave me be
Promise me you won't break this promise you're making


Thought you could keep a promise huh?
You tell me you tried so hard
The you fought so hard
Fought the urge to bring me down
You say you have never tried so hard at anything before in you life
You promise me you'll really change this time
Just one more second chance


But I know you better than that
You say that you'll listen but you're just deaf to everyone
You tell me that you really want to change
Oh no. You'll never truly change
You'll always bring people down
I won't stick around for you to pick on
One day, I'll just fade away
My existance won't even be so much as a memory


But I'll be paying attention
I'll stick around, invisible as a ghost
You say you'll prove it. You ask me to hold you to it
Oh I will
I will hold you to that promise with such devotion
I'll be watching you after I fade away
I'm sure you'll keep your promise
But you won't last a single day

I know that as soon as the sun rises the next morning,
You'll forget what you promised me
And as soon as you do, I will make sure that you know that you failed
I will haunt your every dream, turning every sweet dream into an utter nightmare
I won't come as an angel nor as a demon
I'll come in the form of something much more powerful
I'll come as myself, the existance that is out of sight out of mind
Invisible.
But you'll feel my presence everywhere. you'll feel my eyes watching you when you're alone
And I will tell you that you can't keep a promise to anyone
Even if your life was on the line
I will repeat, I will chant, I will sing those four little words that you dread the most:

I told you so
