When I met you, you looked so smart
But being witty can feel so stupid
When I met you, I thought you were good at heart
But now I know you can't rely on Cupid

You seemed the honest type then I found out
You cannot trust someone who seems too perfect

All the time, all this time
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
All the time, all this time
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
But I was wrong

Your Blue Monday shirt looked so cool
A top disguise for the perfect fool
Your Ray-Bans were darker than the darkest night
A distraction from your anti-blue eyes

That seemed trustworthy, but then I found out
You can't rely on someone who seems perfect

All the time, all this time
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
All the time, all this time
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
But I was wrong

We can glue things back together
But the crack will stay visible
A spiderweb of lies will always remind me that

All the time, all this time
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you

I thought I loved you
All this time, all this time
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
All this time
I loved you
I thought I loved you
But I was wrong

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.
