I Hate To Say, "i Told You So" Lyrics - Singles - The Prize Fight

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
