How do I move on from here, when everything I lost
Is what I want?
These holes she left inside of me has become her memory's
Favorite place to haunt
How can the best I ever had
Hurt so bad, hurt so long
You know I'm not that strong

[Chorus]
Angel of Broken Hearts
Where on Earth are you tonight
Help me find a place to start
To get me over her
Maybe I mistreated love
Have I not suffered long enough?
Angel of Broken HeartsTake this pain away
Take this pain away

Some days I think that I've come through the worst of it
And I'm on the healin' side
And then she kicks up like a dust bowl wind and covers up my mind
I lose hours, I lose days in a haze of "used to be"s
And then I'm on my knees

[Chorus]

I paid with prayers, I paid with tears
And I'll probably for years
I could use a little mercy here

[Chorus]

Oh Angel
Come and take this pain

    After a horrible breakup with a women who he'd loved very deeply, the singer is praying to the Angel who watches over those with broken hearts with the hope the Angel will show him some mercy and help him to get over the relationship and to start to feel better.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

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.
