Oh no, love just leaves you bruised
If you want to know, you find something to lose
The world won't turn until something breaks
Who will make the first last mistake?
They say that good things come to those who wait

Into the spiral, your world and my world, it's never final
Love just leaves you bruised

I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy, smoke in your hair
I didn't know, I didn't care
But now I know
Love just leaves you bruised

Oh no, did love just leave you screwed?
You gotta go slow
Cos love just leaves you bruised

Into the spiral, your world and my world, it's never final
Love just leaves you bruised

I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy, smoke in your hair
I didn't know, I didn't care
But now I know
Love just leaves you bruised
And I've got the scars to prove it

I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy, smoke in your hair
Explain it to me again and again
Like I care
Love just leaves you

The world won't turn until something breaks
Who will make the first last mistake?
Good things come to those who wait
Well I can't wait

I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy smoke in your hair
I didn't know, I didn't care
But now I know

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
