Secrets told in the pictures on your skin
Hours fade into days that never end
I see myself reflected in your eyes
And I hate the way I'm wearing all these lies
[Chorus]
So I let you go
And I watch you leave
And I hold my breath
So you don't hear me scream
When you walk away
But the words are only in my head
It's not what I said
It's what I didn't say
Is she everything you wanted her to be?
Yeah, I bet she never breaks your heart like me
So it's one more night I cover up with you
And I hate myself for what I didn't do
[Chorus]
Should've known better, now
All I have left is a permanent stain
The only part of you I get to keep forever
To prove I lived this pain
Maybe I was never as smart as I thought
Maybe we can never be as good as we want
Maybe you just didn't need me enough
Maybe we're too clever to be falling in love like this
Like this
Secrets told in the silence of my sin
And I'm the one who loses in the end
Hours fade into days that never end
I see myself reflected in your eyes
And I hate the way I'm wearing all these lies
[Chorus]
So I let you go
And I watch you leave
And I hold my breath
So you don't hear me scream
When you walk away
But the words are only in my head
It's not what I said
It's what I didn't say
Is she everything you wanted her to be?
Yeah, I bet she never breaks your heart like me
So it's one more night I cover up with you
And I hate myself for what I didn't do
[Chorus]
Should've known better, now
All I have left is a permanent stain
The only part of you I get to keep forever
To prove I lived this pain
Maybe I was never as smart as I thought
Maybe we can never be as good as we want
Maybe you just didn't need me enough
Maybe we're too clever to be falling in love like this
Like this
Secrets told in the silence of my sin
And I'm the one who loses in the end

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. 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.
It sounds to me like a guy broke up with her and she's thinking back. She remembers just letting him walk away even though she clearly had something to say but she chose not to say it. Now, looking back, she realizes that the 'not saying anything' is what's eating her up inside cus she'll never know what would've happened had she just spoken her mind. It also suggests that there were multiple occasions where she kept her mouth shut, but now she regrets it as 'what ifs...' keep popping up in her mind. The whole verse where she sings about 'maybe I was never...' makes it seem like those are all the things she wished she had said or asked cus now she'll never know. She'll never know if he did love her or whether it was just a hoax. And now, the silence is what caused her own pain hence the 'Secrets told in the silence of my sin And I'm the one who loses in the end'.
