Oh Woe by Benjamin Gibbard Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, woe why do you stay
And make me feel this awful way?
You filled my heart with your solemn tune
And an endless burning blueish hue

[Hook 1]
It's been a basement of a year
And all I want is for you to disappear

[Verse 2]
But oh, woe you caught my eye
And I thought that I'd give you a try
But you're nothing like the way you looked
In all those famous songs and books

[Hook 2]
And now I see how you snuff the light
And kill the ones who hold you inside

[Bridge]
And I can feel you grow in me
Like a forest of green
And it's so confounding trying to cut you down
Trying to find a place to begin
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Oh, woe please hear this plea
To walk away and leave me be
I've weathered more than I can take
Of your ever-present lonely ache

[Hook 1]
It's been a basement of a year
And all I want's for you to disappear
It's been a basement of a year
And all I want's for you to disappear

[Outro]
All I want's for you to disappear
