i warned you, i warned you.
i told you you were
going to get hurt.
i told you that you
should have worn gloves
when you tried to pick the rose.
i told you that you should
have been more careful
before you dive headfirst
into the water.
but you told me
that she was the brightest thing
that entered your life.
that she brought meaning
into your world.
you told me that she made you
-- happy.
i warned you, i warned you.
(now you're crying on the floor of my house,
that "the joy wasn't worth the pain".)
