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"
I'm feelin like its personal, so personal
and I can barely breathe, so
believe me when I say it's not so personal
if you won't speak with me, and
this flame is burning deep inside our lives
it's begining to fade to the faintest of light
and I don't need to be so scared, so tight
cause when it comes down to it,
you know it'll be just right
now don't you See
Andy please,
let me inside your heart
I'm waiting here for you
To help guide me through
all of the doubts I have
I can't seem to break through
I won't hurt you...
You, gave me time but never listened
said I was too young for this shit
now you're telling me you miss it
and, I gave you all my time and effort
fighting this to make it better
fighting cause I think you're worth the time
You brought me to your house
let me believe that it would all work out
and you, leave me for someone you know will never treat you like I can
Please Never Say
Andy please,
let me inside your heart
I'm waiting here for you
To help guide me through
all of the doubts I have
I can't seem to break through
I won't hurt you again
I wont, I wont, I would never hurt you again
Even when I give you all my love, you're pushing it all away
so sorry dear, no time for you here, I'm afraid that I can't stay
Leave please don't
all i wanted was someone who would Tell me how i made them feel inside
The truth be told, I think someone back home's been keeping you in mind
Andy please, let me inside of your heart
I've gotten through all of my doubts
Andy please, let me inside of your heart
I'm waiting here for you
to help guide me through all of my doubts i can't seem to break through

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
These lyrics have some mistakes.
I'm feeling like it's personal, so personal, and I can barely breathe. So, believe me when i say it's not so personal if you wont sleep with me. And, this flame that's burning deep inside our lives is now beginning to fade to a faint, distant light. Now don't you be so scared, so uptight. Cause when it comes down to it, you know it will be just right.
Now don't you say: "Andy, please, let me inside your heart, I'm waiting here for you to help guide me through all of the doubts that I have. I cant seem to break through... I wont hurt you."
You give me time, but never listen. Said I was too young for this shit. Now you're telling me you miss it. And I, gave you all my time and effort. Fighting just to make it better. Fighting cause I think you're worth the time You brought me to your house and made believe that it would all work out. And you, leave me for someone you know will never treat you, like I can.
Please never say: "Andy, please let me inside of your heart, I'm waiting here for you to help guide me through all of the doubts that I have I can't seem to break through... I won't hurt you again. I wont, I wont, I wont ever hurt you again."
Even when I gave you all of my love, you pushed it all away. So sorry, dear, no time for you here, I'm afraid that I cant stay. Deep inside all I wanted was someone willing to tell me how they feel inside. The truth be told, I think someone back home has been keeping you in mind, in mind.
Andy, please, let me inside of your heart, I'm going through all of my doubts!!!
