What was it you once said
That there would be things in life that couldn't be
Not for a second did I believe you
Not for a minute did I believe that
Within your need you lie alone
This empty space you call your home

If you just let me in, I wouldn't let you break down
I'm breakin' down

As if you thought the rain could wash away the day
And could heal you
Not for a second did I believe it
Not for a minute did I believe that
Within your need you lie alone
This empty space you call your home

If you just let me in, I wouldn't let you break down
'Cause I'm breakin' down
If you just let me in, I wouldn't let you break down
'Cause I'm breakin' down, I'm breakin' down, I'm breakin' down

What was it you once said
That there would be things in life that couldn't be
Not for a second did I believe you
Not for a minute did I believe that

If you just let me in, I wouldn't let you break down
'Cause I'm breakin' down
And if you just let me in, I wouldn't let you break down
I'm breakin' down, I'm breakin' down, I'm breakin' down

    Looking at the lyrics again, I'm getting the feeling that this song is about how the narrator loves another and wants to be with them but the person has a "reason" why they can't be together. Then the chorus is all how the narrator is pleading to show them how they won't let them down in the end.

    Can you say: SAPPY?

    The one and only skid Row song I don't like. What's so great about it? Bach sounds like shit (well, not shit, that's not possible, but about as un-metal as you can get) and as for the lyrics...

    This is my favorite Skid Row song. It's so sweet, and meaningful.

    totally different from the average Skid Row.

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.
