We wrote this story down with the turn of each page
We alter the way that our ending unfolds in the end

Does it really make a difference
And did you even care
That we were torn at the seams?

But did you really find a change?
The history we made
That was torn between the pages of our lives
I can't stand another night

So go on pretending
That you'll come back to me
(come back to me!)

If you thought this was easy
Then why's it so hard for you to leave me?
You slammed the door in my face
We're broken
It's clear as day to see

If you thought this was easy
Just let me know
Cause you don't need me
Let me waste my time on someone else

A bitter misconception
To learning foolish lessons
If you ever feel alone
Just pick up your phone

Now I'm waiting on the other end
Of an empty dial tone
This is the final time I'm
Left behind with
No one left to hold

So go on pretending
That you'll come back to me
(come back to me!)

If you thought this was easy
Then why's it so hard for you to leave me?
You slammed the door in my face
We're broken
It's clear as day to see

If you thought this was easy
Just let me know
Cause you don't need me
Let me waste my time on someone else

She dotted every "i"
And crossed every "t"
So perfectly
In her last letter to me

It's like a bad dream
I'll hold it all in and start again
Even though it's too late to walk away

If you thought this was easy
Then why's it so hard for you to leave me?
You slammed the door in my face
We're broken
It's clear as day to see

If you thought this was easy
Just let me know
Cause you don't need me
Let me waste my time on someone else

If you though this was easy
(you always seem to hold it over my head)
If you though this was easy
(you always seem to hold it over my head)
(if you thought this was easy)

Just let me know
Cause you don't need me
Let me waste my time on someone else

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
