I love you, I need you
But I know this will never work
So I'm done pursuing something
That causes me too much hurt
Why do we let them,
Tell us how to be?
How to live?
I swear to you
I have so much to give
If you could only see
Another side of me
You’d know I compare
Every man to you
Honestly,
This type of love
Is the worst feeling
And I've accepted it as reality

[Chorus]
And this unrequited love
Is just too much
For me
My soul is a ship
Lost at sea
And as I’m sinking
I wonder,
Will you ever rescue me?
I tell myself never
In this stormy weather
And that’s how the story ends
‘Cause as we all know
Unrequited love
Has no reap, but only sow

I think I'm apathetic
And I know you wouldn't be
Sympathetic
To me
So I'm trying to move on
But it's the hardest thing
I have ever done
So excuse me while I cry
Deep tears in this dark weather
Knowing you and I
Will never be together
There will be no forever
Together
There will be no forever
Tonight

[Chorus]
And this unrequited love
Is just too much
For me
My soul is a ship
Lost at sea
And as I’m sinking
I wonder,
Will you ever rescue me?
I tell myself never
In this stormy weather
And that’s how the story ends
‘Cause as we all know
Unrequited love
Has no reap, but only sow


Well, believe me when I tell you
That I don't need you
Look me in the eyes
And believe me when I tell you
I don't care, I don't care
You’ve been my demise
Don’t turn your head
I’m just getting started
We haven't even reached
The hard part yet
This is now my attitude
To you in general
And now you’ve given me a reason
To quit and end it all
Or maybe I’m just trying
To convince myself
That you aren’t worth it
And I don’t need your help
It’s funny how things change
When you wait for so long
I just wanted you to love me
Tell me, is that so wrong?

[Chorus]
And this unrequited love
Is just too much
For me
My soul is a ship
Lost at sea
And as I’m sinking
I wonder,
Will you ever rescue me?
I tell myself never
In this stormy weather
And that’s how the story ends
‘Cause as we all know
Unrequited love
Has no reap, but only sow

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
