Tonight the sky will fade into a darker black
With the hint that you won’t be taking me back
I took a knife and slit you from ear to ear
In the silence you seem to scream so clear
You’re wounds may never fully heal
If I tear you’re heart out over and over again
I know you love the bloody kiss I leave you with
If you didn’t why would you always come back for more?
I know it’s not because you like to bleed from your

At times like these there’s no nicer words than
“I hate you”

A candle’s lit for each and every time I’ve lied
If it were up to me this house would just burn down
You’re screaming is just music to these swollen ears
Your tears are the poison that fills this empty cup
I’d surely drink it all down if I knew it would pleasure you
I’d rip my beating heart right out of this chest
If you said I wouldn’t end up like the rest
I don’t want to just be another worthless lover
Or a bloodied body on the cover of the morning news

At times like these there’s no nicer words than
“I hate you”

Your face down on the floor just wishing this could end
Tears flow from your swollen cheeks as you choke you’re reply
No words escape, but baby, you sure know how to cry
Bite you’re lip until it bleeds
Just so you don’t waste any more tears on someone who doesn’t care
You know deep inside that he cares
When he showed you his heart someone else was there
You wish you could have at least one more chance
At our loving but bloody romance

At times like these there’s no nicer words than
“I hate you”

You slowly scream into the telephone
Just to find out that I’m not home
You’ll leave a message on the other end
Saying “You hate me, I’m not you’re friend”
We lay back and think of then
And in a few more days it’s happening again
You slowly scream into the telephone
Just to find out that I’m not home
You’ll leave a message on the other end
Saying “You hate me, I’m not you’re friend”
We lay back and think of then
And in a few more days it’s happening again

At times like these there’s no nicer words than
“I hate you”

Tonight the sky may turn blood-red
If it does I hope you know I’m dead
If it doesn’t, well then I hope you know
I meant everything I said
Tonight the sky may turn blood-red
If it does I hope you know I’m dead
If it doesn’t, well then I hope you know
I meant everything I said

At times like these there’s no nicer words than
“I hate you”

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.
