i told you

Singer: james blunt

smiling all along but i was fakin'

each and every second i was breakin'

i said that i was numb but i was achin' in my bones

the panic in my heart is hard to breathe through

this the kinda thing they never teach you

i never thought i'd ever have to leave you on your own

baby

take care of your heart

every day that i'm not with you

if you're ever scared of the dark

remember

i told you

darling

i will never be far

wherever you go

what you do

baby

i was there from the start

remember

i told you

honestly it hurts too much to say this

so i will write it down and you can save it

and read it when i'm not around to say it for myself

yeah

savor every moment 'cause they go fast

the fireworks are bright because they don't last

but promise me you'll walk along your own path

no one else's

baby

take care of your heart

every day that i'm not with you

if you're ever scared of the dark

remember

i told you

darling

i will never be far

wherever you go

what you do

baby

i was there from the start

remember

i told you

when you bump your head

and then you lose your thread

darlin'

i'll be there

remember

i told you

from when it's all just plain

to your wedding day

even when the pictures fade

remember

i told you

so

baby

take care of your heart

every day that i'm not with you

if you're ever scared of the dark

remember

i told you

darling

i will never be far

wherever you go what you do

baby

i was there from the start

remember

i told you

so

baby

take care of your heart

every day that i'm not with you

if you're ever scared of the dark

remember

i told you

darling

i will never be far

wherever you go what you do

baby

i was there from the start

remember

i told you
