Told You So - Barenaked Ladies, David Leonard

I never jumped in and rescued you

But I wanted to

I didn’t tell you which way to go

Cause I thought you’d know

You had a problem with your new found wealth

You brought it on yourself

I never told you I told you so, but I told you so

Have to let it go

It’s time to let it go

Now I can’t believe

It took so long to leave

Perhaps one day I’ll grieve

Or I never will

I never told you I agreed with you

I don’t think I do

I wasn’t sure quite what the whole thing meant

But I’m glad you went

I never thought that it could be painless

But it is I guess

I had myself fooled into needing you

Did I fool you too?

A viral infection that can incubate for years

Caused by affection fallen deep into arrears

No medication to procure

Makes me pure, there’s no cure, I am sure

I never mentioned how I’ve prayed for you

And now I’ve paid for you

I never said that I would wait for you

It’s too late for you
