Woe Is Me Lyrics

There's a girl that you should know
she was mine not so long ago
Had my number and we fell in love
She put me under and I got lost...
my nerve and I lost my head, just about everything I had
Washed out and I ????
I couldn't see my hand in front of me.

Woe is me
Woe is me

Hey do you want to walk with me?
By the trees and the factories.
Hey do you want to hop the fence?
In the sleepy red sunsets
Theres a girl that you should know
she was mine not so long ago
had my number and we fell in love
She put me under and I got lost

Woe is me
Woe is me
Woe is me
Woe is me

Now the street light bright and pale
as we sip our ginger ale
I kiss you by the blinking signs
Don't be heavy, let's be light

On and on our merry way
On and on our merry way
On and on our merry way
On and on our merry way

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
