[Into – Soft piano, finger picking guitar] [Female voice] (ooh, babe, oh, babe) (Can I talk to you, can I explain) Will you listen, and judge my pain. [Guitar: smooth strum and warm] [Piano: soft chords, melody driven] [Verse] If I came to you, told you I was wrong, Would you take me back, ask me to come home. Or, look into my eyes, and tell me to go, Would you stare and say, --- I told you so. [Pre-chorus - Harmony] I don't have, the words, needed, To explain, how I was treated. [Chorus – Full harmony] I missed the way you loved me, kind and true, The way you held me, when storms came through. I won’t blame you, if, if you tell me no, Just don’t stare and say, --- I told you so. [Guitar: finger picks the melody] [Verse 2] If there’s any mercy, left in your soul, Please take me back, and make me whole. Don't deserve grace, after all I put you through, Just don't stare at me and say, --- I told you so. [Short Piano solo] [Pre-chorus - Harmony] I’m comin’ home, if you’ll have me, Forgiveness and love will be the key. [Chorus – Full harmony building strong] I missed the way you loved me, kind and true, The way you held me, when storms came through. I won’t blame you, if, if you tell me no, Just don’t stare and say, --- I told you so. [Bridge] I still love you, can you love me too, I was wrong, --- oh, so wrong, to go. Pull me close, take me in your arms, I pray, you’ll never say, --- I told you so. [Outro – quiet and vulnerable] Hold me, hold me, say you love me too, But, if I'm not to stay, gently say, --- please go, Then speak softly, so softly, --- I told you so. (Softly, ever so softly, say, --- I told you so...) (I told you so...) [Fade out]
