I Told You So - Original Song by Immy Radcliffe

Details

Description

Hi! So this song is probably my favourite that I've ever written because I challenged myself to create something more harmonically and melodically interesting than I usually do. I can't even say how proud I am of it.

The inspiration for it is maybe what I'm less proud of because I was like "Oh what if I write a song from Alhaitham's point of view?" For those of you who have no idea what I'm referring to there, he's a character from an anime video game (Genshin Impact) that's roommates with Kaveh. They bicker all the time but many people ship them. I know this makes me a huge nerd, but hey, inspiration comes from weird places

Lyrics:

It had been five years since the fallout
So many days since my world came crashing down
On the night I found you drinking your problems away
There were so many things that I didn't say

Like I'll be there though the night and day
It would take more than this to drive me away
I see you breaking down
But I'll always be here
And since your eyes have lost their shine
I will help you find your smile
I can't see you self-destruct
My dear

Coz ever since the day that we met
I've been yours
I'll help you time and time again
Pick yourself off the floor
Coz you mean more to me
Than you seem to know
When you find out, I won't say
I told you so

It's been two years since that evening
We've argued most days since you moved in to my house
Now you're on the couch and you're sleeping
Coz you always run out of energy when you run your mouth

But I'll be there though the night and day
It's gonna take so much more to drive me away
If you break down again
I will still be here
When you get caught up in your mind
I'll be there to help you find your smile
I won't let you self-destruct
My dear

Ever since the day that we met
I've been yours
I'll help you time and time again
Pick yourself off the floor
Coz you mean more to me
Than you seem to know
I promise I won't say
I told you so

Would you believe me
If I said
The truth
That though everyone sees me
As unfeeling
They don't know how much I feel for you

Coz when
I see you cry
When you lose your love for life
Part of me dies inside
Watching you break your back
For someone else to break a smile

Your smile
Is my breath
I need you
Till the end

My hands
In your hair
Promise me
You'll let them stay there

Ever since the day that we met
I've been yours
I'll help you time and time again
Pick yourself off the floor
Coz you mean more to me
Than you could ever know
I love you, so I won't say
I told you so
