@[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.
By the time you read the letter
I'll be gone feeling better I'll be strong
Without you to be dependent upon
Sometimes I can't believe this is it
This is life: live, die, don't exist
And life grows from earth where I decompose
So don't start shaking branches
Sometimes circumstances
Make romance as stone
And don't go losing your sleep
Over what you could not keep
Hush your sighs just shush
Your big baby blue eyes
Cause maybe it's way better this way
Anyway, what's the difference?
It makes no difference to me and
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Oh
I'll be gone feeling better I'll be strong
Without you to be dependent upon
Sometimes I can't believe this is it
This is life: live, die, don't exist
And life grows from earth where I decompose
So don't start shaking branches
Sometimes circumstances
Make romance as stone
And don't go losing your sleep
Over what you could not keep
Hush your sighs just shush
Your big baby blue eyes
Cause maybe it's way better this way
Anyway, what's the difference?
It makes no difference to me and
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Oh
