Wake up
We have the time of our lives
Lost the rest of our minds
And all your makeup
Faded down from your eyes
Now I could see what's behind

Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
How could you be so cruel this time?
Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
How could you be such a beautiful lie?

Don't know why, I try
'Cause now I'm done inside
I don't know what it's like
To live a life of new one
And you're such a beautiful lie
You're such a beautiful lie

And all the pain and shame
Tired enough to do nothing
Erase the stain
You left a place in my life
And you're such a beautiful lie
You're such a beautiful lie

Break up
Before we breaking down
Keep your feet on the ground
Something stays stuck
Makes no sense and no sound
Never said it out loud

Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
How could you be so cruel this time?
Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
How could you be such a beautiful lie?

Don't know why, I try
'Cause now I'm done inside
Don't know what it's like
To live a life of new one
And you're such a beautiful lie
You're such a beautiful lie

And all the pain and shame
Tired enough to do nothing
Erase the stain
You left a place in my life
And you're such a beautiful lie
You're such a beautiful lie

And all the pain and shame
Tired enough to do nothing
Erase the stain
You left a place in my life
And you're such a beautiful lie
You're such a beautiful lie

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.
