I Told You So

Author's Note: Music from Keith Urban "I Told You So". Is it perfect or what? I can't go a week without missing new episodes. Stupid writer' strike.

You said you needed your space
I wasn't where you wanted to be
I didn't stand in your way
I only want you to be happy
And so surprised am I to see you here tonight

That day in the hallway will haunt me forever. The look on your face; that feeling in my gut. I could hardly breathe and felt like you had punched me in the gut. I can't believe I let you go. You needed it and I understand that. Sorta.

I'm sure I've felt that way. We're supposed ta be stronger together. I'm supposeda be able to help you. "There's some stuff I need to work out for myself."

Well, can't you see that for worse or for better
We're better together
Please, just come back home
And don't say that you're sorry
And I won't say I told you so

You and Stell talked when you were in Montana, right? Did she tell ya how little sleep I got? I hallucinated. Stell doesn't know 'bout that 'course. Why tell your supervisor when you can't think straight?

I saw you walking down the hall. Beautiful. I guess I just wanted you back home – New York – my home. It's not your home, I guess. Not really. It could be. What is there for you in Montana anyway?

Sometimes in our lives
We get to where we wonder if
The long road that we're on
Is heading in the same direction
When it comes to you and me
We're right where I know we should be

Now, when ya get back here. Things will be different. Hopefully, you'll let me take you on a date. Not stand me up. I guess right now I'm wondering if we want the same things.

You know I lied 'bout that dinner and drinks crap. I want everything. The waking up next to you part. Definitely want what comes before that. I'm a guy, after all. But I would stay the whole night. I would take you to dinner: maybe the opera. God, help me.

Oh, can't you see that for worse or for better
We're better together
Please, just come back home
And don't say that you're sorry
And I won't say I told you so

I understand the running away from your problems thing. I'll do it at some point. So ya don't gotta apologize for that. Right now, I just want ya back in New York. I might settle for that weird silence thing we had goin' before ya left.

Havin' ya here would keep me from seein' imaginary yous walking down the hallway. 'Cause hallucinatin's never good, right?

Sometimes it's like we're deep in nothing but love
And the slightest thing can grow so foolishly
Please

So, ya get back. We'll go ta dinner. Ya won't stand me up. Stupid me already half in love with you. And I think ya might love me back. I'm hopin' ya are. How'd this happen? First I'm teasin' ya 'bout Mac then next hing I know…wham

I love ya. And I'd do juts 'bout anything for ya. So get your cute lil' butt back ta New York. 'Kay?

Oh, can't you see that for worse or for better
We're better together
Please, just come back home
And don't say that you're sorry
And I won't say I told you so
But I told you so
Should have known better
Than to leave me, baby
Should have known better
