i sit and hear you sleep
i dont want to go
your there beside me
but your so far away
i talk to you
while your asleep
you cant hear a word
you can hear everything

tears are feelings we cant say
tears mean that you care
tears are mixed emotions
tears are more than tears

the pooring rain
from my eyes
means to much
to keep inside

i sit and watch you leave
my life forever
i know youll be gone so long
my last words are nothing
and i tell you i care
and nothing more
i cant say how i feel
so i cry

tears are feelings we cant say
tears mean that you care
tears are mixed emotions
tears are more than tears

its the light
behind the shadow
that sacred face
behind the mask

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
