This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
you got away with murder
and all i got was the plot
youve seen the waveside punches
it was your shot your shot your shot
atleast i got away with your money
and all you got was my heart
ill never tell you that im sorry
cause its your fault your fault your fault
but now that youre gone everything is alright
in fact im better off this way
now that youre dead to me its alright
ill never throw my heart away
you like to pull your finger
but girl you know its not that hard
you told me that i was heartless
but thats what you got sold on
atleast i got away with your money
and all you got was my heart
ill never tell you that im sorry
cause its your fault your fault your fault
i was minding
my own business
when you sought me out
to shoot me down
but now that youre gone everything is alright
in fact im better off this way
now that youre dead to me its alright
(shot down again, already dead)
ill never throw my heart away
i was minding
my own business
when you sought me out
to shoot me down
where were you
when i needed you
you just sought me out
to shoot me down
MURDER
but now that youre gone everything is alright
in fact im better off this way
now that youre dead to me its alright
(shot down again, already dead)
ill never throw my heart away

@[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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think its "you like to POINT your finger" not "pull your finger"
you like to point your finger but girl you know it's not that hard you told me that i was heartless but that's what you got so wrong
^^ correct verse.
