I knew this would happen
But you never listened
Look at yourself in the mirror
It will show you things much clearer
You told me everything would be alright
I had a hunch that you wouldn't be right
Looking at you now makes me down
Your voice gets so husky and loud
You told me I would be very wrong
Would never see you walking at dawn
You made promises and sworn
But they're like papers you tore
I hate to tell you here in the cold
But all I can say is I told you so
I believe you're old enough to know
What lies ahead of the path you go
