I got the first flight out when I finished up the tour, because I missed you
I even flew home a day too soon, all because I couldn't wait to kiss you
"Oh, how she will be loved"
Was the one thing stuck in my mind
And how tonight would be
Remembered for the rest of your life

I never thought that I'd do something like that
When I saw you two, it hit me like a heart attack
Oh no
How could you let somebody in through our door?
How could you bring him home?

I never thought I'd lose my temper like that
Now it's a fucked-up situation; he ain't coming back
Oh no
How could you please another man on our floor?
How could you bring him home?

I know you know I passed on every girl because I thought I really loved you
And you know that I'd never put anyone or anything above you
Because I loved you
And it was that love (It was that love)
That made me lose my head, and now it's too late
One day too soon
You'll regret it for the rest of your days

I never thought that I'd do something like that
When I saw you two, it hit me like a heart attack
Oh no
How could you let somebody in through our door?
How could you bring him home?

I never thought I'd lose my temper like that
Now it's a fucked-up situation; he ain't coming back
Oh no
How could you please another man on our floor?
How could you bring him home?

Hey
Oh
Hey
Oh

Please, God, forgive
Me for what I did
This day will stay for as long as I live
But if you walked in
And seen what I seen
I know any man would have done just the same

Please, God, forgive (No)
Me for what I did (No)
This day will stay for as long as I live
But if you walked in (No)
And seen what I seen (No)
I know any man would have done just the same
Because I

Never thought that I'd do something like that
When I saw you two, it hit me like a heart attack
Oh no
How could you let somebody in through our door?
How could you bring him home?

I never thought I'd lose my temper like that
Now it's a fucked-up situation; he ain't coming back
Oh no
How could you please another man on our floor?
How could you bring him home? (Bring him home)

Hey
Oh (Bring him home)
Hey
Oh

Hey
Oh
Hey
Oh

    I would rather kill my partner than the person she is cheating on me with, because, for all I know, the guy had no clue she was seeing anybody else. That isn't his fault.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
