Fourteen years is all you made it
Til forgiveness was frustrated
I was sorry you missed Christmas
Do you think you'll still miss us

Ooooo, ooooo, ooooo, ooooo

I was angry when you left us (when you left us)
And it showed upon my mattress (when you left us)
And I told myself it's better (it's better)
If we only talk in letters

You broke my heart
You broke my heart

Ooooo, ooooo, ooooo, ooooo

Did you think about my mother
When you shared the same bed cover
Did you wonder if it changed her
When your sons became your strangers

Where will you go when you're lonely
Since we split up all the family
All the pictures are outdated
All of us are separated

You broke my heart (heart)
You broke my heart (heart)
You broke my heart (I don't feel it anymore)
You broke my heart (I don't feel it anymore)
You broke my...

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
