I still remember how it was to start
Held my hand so tender, couldn't bear to be apart
Now it all seems faded, it all slipped away
Now we're left with nothing and there's nothing left to say

Cut the cord, I told you so
Tell me what you want to know
Count to three, turn around
I won't be what you thought you found
And you won't bring this up again
Not after where you've been
I told you so, I told you so
I told you so

I seem to have misplaced my faith and you forgot to call
We pack our parachutes, ready for the fall
He's waiting for me in the back, I can taste the guilt
Don't pretend to miss me as we tear down what we built

So cut the cord, I told you so
Tell me what you want to know
Count to three, turn around
I won't be what you thought you found
And you won't bring this up again
Not after where you've been
I told you so, I told you so
I told you so

And we both know where this is gonna go
So let's not pretend that he's just a friend
You don't know how to give
But I know what to take
It's your fault, but it's my mistake

So cut the cord, I told you so
Tell me what you want to know
Count to three, turn around
I won't be what you thought you found

Cut the cord, I told you so
Tell me what you want to know
Count to three, turn around
I won't be what you thought you found
And you won't bring this up again, yeah
I told you so, I told you so
I told you so
