I've Told You Once Lyrics

Get up!

So hold these words up to your chest
Prove to them all why you're the best
And when they say you're just like the rest
It's time to put that courage to the test

So do your very best to tear them down until there's nothing left
And while you're swelling on the past, we'll see who's laughing last

You've said enough for both of us, so don't try to deny it
And some things are better left unsaid, but I can't keep this quiet
Well I'm not one to hold a grudge and hide it from the surface,
'Cause every single thing I've ever held against you has a purpose
You're good at starting problems for the hell of it,
But our difference is that I don't use my past to make me feel relevant

I've told you once and I'll tell you twice
That everything comes with a price
And after all the things you said,
You should've known how this would end
I've told you once and I'll tell you twice,
That everything comes with a price
Well you rolled the dice and now tough luck kid
We're all pissed off, with no fucks to give

'Cause you say that we're cowards and that we're the ones to blame,
But we're one in a million and you're all the fucking same

You're so proud of the one-liners you wrote
It must be hard to talk shit with a dick in your throat!

Let's take it back to the top,
Whether you're ready or not
You knew that we'd never stop,
So bring the best that you got

Maybe this is too much for you, whoa
But how dare you even try to
Take my words and turn them inside out
To hide the fact that all your luck ran out
Well who the hell gave you the right to
Tell me how to live my life?
And when you said enough is enough,
I fought to keep going when the going get tough
You might think you've got me tricked,
But you're not hard to see through
So let me make this clear,
Don't bite the hand that feeds you

Woe, Is Me was a post-hardcore/metalcore band formed in Atlanta, GA in 2009. The band is currently signed to Rise Records and its subsidiary, Velocity Records. Their debut full-length album, Numbers, was released on August 31, 2010 and charted at #16 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers. Since then, they released an album (Genesis) and an EP (American Dream) before their breakup in late 2013.

The original lineup consisted of Austin Thornton, Kevin Hanson, and Tim Sherrill with Cory Ferris and Ben Ferris. These members recruited vocalists Michael Bohn and Tyler Carter for unclean and clean vocals, respectively.

The band recorded a three-song demo with producer Cameron Mizell containing the songs "Hell, or High Water," "I.," and "If Not, for Ourselves," which were uploaded to their MySpace profile. They also recorded and released a cover of "TiK ToK." The Artery Foundation took notice and Rise/Velocity Records signed the band before they even played their first show. They recorded their album during the same month that they were signed.

The band's first tour was on the Pyknic pArtery Tour in the summer of 2010, headlined by Drop Dead, Gorgeous and shared with From First to Last, Attila, Sleeping With Sirens, Abandon All Ships, For All Those Sleeping, and Scarlett O'Hara.

Tyler Carter's soul-influenced clean vocals has garnered him comparisons to Jonny Craig, who also provided guest vocals on their album. The band went on a Canadian tour supporting Abandon All Ships in October of 2010 as well as the Average Guys With Exceptional Hair Tour across America, presented by MerchNow.com, in November with A Skylit Drive, Motionless in White, Scarlett O'Hara, and For All Those Sleeping.

The band released their debut music video for "[&] Delinquents" in December. By the end of December 2010, lead guitarist Tim Sherrill left Woe, Is Me. Geoffrey Higgins took up the position officially in March 2011.

The band released a new single "Fame > Demise" on March 21, 2011 through the iTunes store. The song is the last one to feature Sherrill on lead guitar. Tyler Carter has stated that the song will not be on the band's upcoming second album.

In late June 2011, Higgins left the band and they were forced to play their first Warped Tour performances with only Kevin Hanson's rhythm guitar while lead guitars were back-tracked for the time being. Weeks afterward, Andrew Paiano, formerly of Abandon All Ships, joined Woe, Is Me to play lead guitar.

On August 10, 2011, it was announced excluslvely through Alternative Press that Tyler Carter would be leaving Woe, Is Me. His statement can be read here on AltPress.com.

On September 15, 2011, Woe, is me announced their new vocalist, Hance Alligood, formerly of Oh, Manhattan.

Ben Ferris, Michael Bohn and Cory Ferris have left Woe, Is Me in March 2012.

Woe, Is Me announced they were parting ways with Austin Thornton in March 2013, leaving Kevin Hanson as the only remaining member from the original lineup.
