I've Told You Once
Woe Is Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The first stanza of "I've Told You Once" by Woe Is Me is about proving oneself to others. The lyrics ask the listener to hold these words to their chest and prove why they're the best. When people start saying that you're just like everyone else in the world, it's important to put your courage to the test. The second stanza can be interpreted in two different ways. One interpretation is to tear people down until there's nothing left. The other is that while you're dwelling on the past, the person who shows the most courage will be the one laughing last. The third and fourth stanzas are about personal issues between two individuals. The lyrics question how one person can be so proud of their one-liners and call others cowards and blame them for problems. Then the lyrics move on to how the songwriter has held things against this individual but it all had a purpose. Finally, the songwriter warns not to bite the hand that feeds you.

So hold these words up to your chest
Keep these words close to your heart and use them to prove your superiority
Prove to them all why you're the best
Demonstrate your greatness to others by any means necessary
And when they say you're just like the rest
When criticized for being unoriginal, show your bravery in response
It's time to put that courage to the test
Now is your chance to prove your worth
So do your very best to tear them down until there's nothing left
Use your words to destroy your opponents until they have nothing left
And while you're swelling on the past, we'll see who's laughing last
While you dwell on past events, we'll achieve ultimate success in the end
You've said enough for both of us, so don't try to deny it
You've done enough talking for both of us, so don't try to backtrack now
And some things are better left unsaid, but I can't keep this quiet
Normally it's best to keep quiet, but I must speak out about this
Well I'm not one to hold a grudge and hide it from the surface,
I don't hold onto anger and pretend it's not there
'Cause every single thing I've ever held against you has a purpose
Every negative thing I've thought about you has a reason behind it
You're good at starting problems for the hell of it,
You're skilled at creating conflict for no reason
But our difference is that I don't use my past to make me feel relevant
Unlike you, I don't rely on my past to feel important
I've told you once and I'll tell you twice
I've warned you before and I'll warn you again
That everything comes with a price
Every action has consequences
And after all the things you said,
After all the hurtful words you've spoken
You should've known how this would end
You should have realized the negative outcome of your actions
Well you rolled the dice and now tough luck kid
You took a chance and now you have to deal with the negative consequences
We're all pissed off, with no fucks to give
We're all angry and don't care about the consequences of our actions
'Cause you say that we're cowards and that we're the ones to blame,
You accuse us of being unbrave and responsible for the situation
But we're one in a million and you're all the fucking same
We're unique, while you are just like everyone else
You're so proud of the one-liners you wrote
You take pride in your clever insults
It must be hard to talk shit with a dick in your throat!
It's difficult to insult others while simultaneously choking on your own inadequacy
Let's take it back to the top,
Let's start again
Whether you're ready or not
Regardless of whether you're prepared
You knew that we'd never stop,
You should have realized we wouldn't give up
So bring the best that you got
Show us what you're capable of
Maybe this is too much for you, whoa
Perhaps this is too overwhelming for you to handle
But how dare you even try to
You are audacious for even attempting
Take my words and turn them inside out
Twist my words to alter their meaning
To hide the fact that all your luck ran out
To conceal the reality that you failed
Well who the hell gave you the right to
Who authorized you to
Tell me how to live my life?
Advise me on how to conduct myself?
And when you said enough is enough,
When you declared that it was time to stop
I fought to keep going when the going get tough
I persevered even when it became difficult
You might think you've got me tricked,
You may believe you have deceived me
But you're not hard to see through
Your true intentions are easy to discern
So let me make this clear,
Allow me to highlight and clarify
Don't bite the hand that feeds you
Don't betray the person who is supporting you
