Loneliness is not something that I'm used to
Loneliness is not something that I'm used to
But sleeping well is just something that I used to do
And making love is just something that I used to do

Well I tried to fill my empty nights with drinking
I'm going to keep on trying to fill them up with drinking
Anything to keep my boat from sinking
Anything to keep my head from thinking

Well there might be something
she wants for me to give her
Lord, there might be something
she wants for me to give her
Like maybe some clothes or jewlery that she left here
Well I'd give her things back gladly,
but I can't cause I threw them in a river

I keep my windows open in the summer
And I keep my windows open in the spring time
And I keep my windows open in the winter
I'm going ot keep my doorway open come this Autumn

Well you weren't suprised when I told you I was dying
You laughed and said well darling who isn't
Well theres got to be something that I'm missing
Well it's hard to keep your vision
When you heart treats your memory like a prison

Well I've had to teach myself not to adore ya
But I've had to teach myself not to adore ya
Cause everything has changed since the morning
That we awoke and left the mountains of California

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.

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
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.
