You�re not who you used to be, or at least not to me.
A ghost on a movie screen is what you seem.
Now you�re the one to let the sun fall down
like a stone in a river.
You steal the blood inside of me. I can�t bleed.

This is a lovesong for the loveless and the hopeless.
You can be certain that I�m with you when I sing.
This is a lovesong for the desperate and the lonely.
You could have nothing but you�ll still have me.

Gone like the sound of your voice or a passing minute.
Blown like your hair in the breeze.
You are the one to let our star fall down like a stone in a river.
You stole the life inside of me. I can�t breathe.

This is a lovesong for the loveless and the hopeless.
You can be certain that I�m with you when I sing.
This is a lovesong for the desperate and the lonely.
You could have nothing but you�ll still have me.

There�s a part of me that dies when you turn away your eyes.
I�m alive but not inside.
And you know all I wanted was your love,
but you left me high and dry.
You�re the part of me that died my darling.

Now that I�m dead to you dear,
you can slip those bullets back in your lips where they seethe.
You were the one to gun our love straight down
like a stone in a river.
You shot your favorite enemy.
Watch me bleed.

This is a lovesong for the loveless and the hopeless.
You can be certain that I�m with you when I sing.
This is a lovesong for the desperate and the lonely.
You could have nothing but you�ll still have me.

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 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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
