I live a perfect lie
All I ever want lies forgiven
Took away all of those chains and say
They broke away, they broke away

Do you lead a better life
Even when the sweet turns to bitter
Took away all of our chains and said
They broke away, they broke away

Walking round outer space
Knowing that you've had a taste
Walking round and out of place
And knowing what you're gonna do
To break down those chains
I can't tell you
Took away all of our chains and say
Broke away, they broke away

Got away with my ambition
Only if I want it
Only if I don't
Took away all of those chains and say
They broke away, they broke away

Walking round and out of place
Knowing that you've had a taste
Walking round out of place
Nothing what you're gonna do
To break out on me
I can't tell you
Took away all of your chains and say
They broke away, they broke away

And knowing what you're gonna do
To break down those chains
I can't tell you
Take away all of those chains and say
They broke away, they broke away

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
