Now
Don't just walk away
Pretending everythings okay and you don't care about me
And I know it's just no use
When all your lies become your truths and I don't care

Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you're happy now, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Would you tell it to my face
Or have I been erased
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?

You took all there was to take
And left me with an empty plate
And you don't care about it
Yeah
And I am giving up this game
And leaving you with all the blame
'Cause I don't care

Could you look me in the eye
And tell me that you're happy now, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Would you tell it to my face
Or have I been erased
Are you happy now? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Are you happy now?

Are you happy now? Yeah yeah, yeah

Do you really have everything you want?
You could never give something you ain't got
You can't run away from yourself

Could you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you're happy now, yeah yeah
Come on tell it to my face
Or have I been replaced
Are you happy now? Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah (are you happy now?) Oh-oh
(Are you happy now?) Yeah-yeah, oh-oh

Would you look me in the eye?
Could you look me in the eye?
I've had all that I can take
I'm not about to break
'Cause I'm happy now, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Are you happy now?

    Great song by Michelle! I love the attitude that comes from her. I was so excited when I first heard it and am anxious to see how her new album turns out when it is released. I know that it is a little more upbeat--it rocks on more. She is a great songwriter/singer and I feel that she will continue to grow musically. She can definitely not be compared to a "Britney Spears" recording artist!

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
