about

A song built on the bitterness and resentment of never getting to say, “I told you so.” It’s a dark and grungy breakup song that revisits old wounds.

lyrics

Should we start
When did we ever stop
In fits and rages 
Since last we did or did we ever talk
Seems like ages
Without a word

Said I’d hand you over to the guards
Well, I wasn’t playing
So I don’t owe you for your house of cards
That’s all I’m saying
Without a word, without a word

Had to bite my tongue 
Had to taste the blood
Had to choke it back
All the bitterness of
I told you so ‘cause I told you so  

Ask me if it’s love at any cost
If tempest tossed into temptation
But I won’t say so nothing can be lost
In translation 
Without a word, without a word

Had to bite my tongue 
Had to taste the blood
Had to choke it back
All the bitterness of
I told you so ‘cause I told you so  

I told you
I believe you, want and need you, lead my heart around
And I’m in love, and I’ll be yours, but don’t you let me down

Had to bite my tongue 
Had to taste the blood
Had to choke it back
All the bitterness of
I told you so
I had to bite my tongue 
Had to taste the blood
Had to choke it back
All the bitterness of
I told you so ‘cause I told you so

Now the reason we're here
Every man, every woman
Is to help each other
Stand by each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good good
Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you - The Pretenders

At some point in my life, I heard this song and decided (before I knew I decided) that my life purpose was to send a "message of love". Be <3 ... more
