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
that we shift away our eyes
but maybe that moment´s ours to live
and maybe that´s what we were for
as fate will share a chance with you
to open up your door

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

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
as I go down in a ball of flames
they´ll just watch, i wonder why

and everyone will say "I told you so"
they´ll all just nod and sigh
but I made a run at something real
and they never even tried
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
