So I sit here alone
Trying to find my own way
To cope with everything
That I've done wrong
So I try real hard not to see
What you've done to me
But I couldn't find my heart
And there won't be any silence till it's gone
There won't be any silence till I'm gone
Look away, you're watchin me as I slip away
'Cause everything I know just falls apart
So try real hard not to see
What you've done to me
But I couldn't find a way
Then I'll see my own way
To cope with everything that I've done wrong
And there won't be any silence till it's gone
There won't be any silence till I'm gone
Look away, you're watchin me as I slip away
'Cause everything I know just falls apart
Now it's me as I slip away
'Cause everything I know falls, it just falls apart
'Cause I'm not enough to bring you down
I'm not enough to bring you down
I'm not enough to make you happy
I'm not enough to make you stay

    why does no one comment unloco! hey! huh!?

    anyway! the song. it suggests to me that hes regretting something he may have done or something thats happened, and in trying to find a way to cope with that, he cant keep his mind off of the someone that he may have lost or hurt. he just sounds like a completely lost individual! he cant forget what has happened and keeps replaying it in his head, hes ashamed that hes letting himself slip away like this "look away your watching me, as i slip" but the person hes relating to means alot to him and he wont get any silence till he can let go of them. what hes done is probably let slip the one thing that he was living for, something he sees as out of his reach. hes not good enough to bring her down(like he is), not good enough to make her happy, and not good enough to make her stay.

    sound slike hes in a circle of self pity, that is so big he cant get out

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.

Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
