@[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.
You broke my heart,
When you said goodbye
And only you can lift my spirit
You gave me wings and now you're gone
Well I'm crying inside,
A thousand tears every time I think of you
Lock the pictures away,
Hide the letters too,
Anything to get my mind off you
You just walked by me like nothing ever happened
When you said you would rescue me if I was ever falling
Well now baby there's no way that you could have forgotten all of the memories
I thought we shared
We were supposed to grow old
Tell me how can I look up at the moon,
When I know that moon shines upon you
Through that window in your room
Oh how I wish I had you in my arms see darling I would never let you go
When you said goodbye
And only you can lift my spirit
You gave me wings and now you're gone
Well I'm crying inside,
A thousand tears every time I think of you
Lock the pictures away,
Hide the letters too,
Anything to get my mind off you
You just walked by me like nothing ever happened
When you said you would rescue me if I was ever falling
Well now baby there's no way that you could have forgotten all of the memories
I thought we shared
We were supposed to grow old
Tell me how can I look up at the moon,
When I know that moon shines upon you
Through that window in your room
Oh how I wish I had you in my arms see darling I would never let you go
