I Hate To Say, "I Told You So" Lyrics

We train all our lives
I stay in practice,
And keep my focus
But oh, I know�

That the way I roll
The way I show myself on the outside
It may seem cold,
But I have only the best of intentions
As I make them known,
You try and show yourself to a trained eye
As in control,
And always strong and self-independent

But you cannot do this on your own
(You�ve tried before and you�re still alone)
And I don�t have the strength that I had before
(Cause I�ve walked this road and I know where it goes)
You�re too afraid to say it
And to ashamed to admit that
She�s leading you on your way back home,
And taking you nowhere

You�re here for my advice
But when I give it,
You refuse to take it
And oh, I know�

I may be wrong
But at least I showed myself on the outside
As being strong
By holding on to my convictions

And so I pace myself
And keep in mind that I have no way out if I
Leave you stranded on your own

You cannot do this on your own
(You�ve tried before and you�re still alone)
And I don�t have the strength that I had before
(Cause I�ve walked this road and I know where it goes)
You�re too afraid to say it
And to ashamed to admit that
She�s leading you on your way back home
And taking you nowhere

So I...
Left you passed out on the floor
And I�
Know it�s not my fault, but I
Know you won�t be alone for long
So I...
Wait, wait just a minute
Then make, make my commitment
For better or worse, I�m here for good

You cannot do this on your own
(You�ve tried before and you�re still alone)
And I don�t have the strength that I had before
(Cause I�ve walked this road and I know where it goes)
You�re too afraid to say it
And to ashamed to admit that
She�s leading you on your way back home,
(Cause I�ve walked this road and I know where it goes)
Down the path that we both know
Is taking you nowhere
