Now it's time to come clean
Shed all of my vanity
The obsession of me, I see will end me
Am I even worth saving?
(I pray, forgiving)

Just take me and break me
Please steal this heart away and change me
I'm bleeding while choking on these words
(I pray, forgiving)
Do with me what you will
(I know you did this to me and you will save this day
And I won't forget what you've done for me)

I can't sleep
You're haunting me
I can't speak
Your name burns in me
When I dream
Make me believe

I can see when I've failed you
Disappointment burns through
Then I fall to my knees, how I want to be free from what taunts me
My heart burns for you
(I pray, forgiving)

I can't sleep
You're haunting me
I can't speak
Your name burns in me
When I dream
Make me believe

I'd do anything to
Be what you want of me
I'd change back into a child
With innocence and sugar kisses
To be by your side
To walk in your wake
I'd change for the rain on my face
If you would teach me
All I want is humility

Take me and break me
Please steal this heart away and change me
I'm bleeding while choking on these words
(I pray, forgiving)
Do with me what you will
(I know you did this to me and you will save this day
And I won't forget what you've done for me)

I can't sleep
You're haunting me
I can't speak
Your name burns in me
When I dream

I pray, engage!

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
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.
