This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Wide open hills and biting on pills
Scrape the day away, throw it all away
I'm waiting until I can be with you
Scrape the day away, throw it all away
Why don't you take that razor out the draw
and slit my wrists
watch me bleed all on the floor
I can't take this shit
I can't take it anymore
either kill me or kill yourself or kill us both
cause I need help
your my fucking enemy
my best friend, my heroin
the only thing I know
and you stab me in the back again
you told me you loved me
I thought that you had love for me
but you haven't touched me, felt me, fucked me in so long now
you never trust me
its so wrong how
look at what you done to me
I scrape the razor blade just to make it through the day
and the smell of your clothes is all that remains
Wide open hills and biting on pills
scrape the day away, throw it all away
Im waiting until I can be with you
scrape the day away, throw it all away
without you I cant live no more
so fuck this shit
put a bullet in my brain and fucking end this quick
cause everything you did to me I did to myself
in the end it was worthless
Im just selfish
helpless little pity girl
ran away from home at 13
I never looked back I never had a dream
I still hear the sound when my momma used to fiend
and my daddy used to scream and it made me insane
Im at the end of my road
not much longer I can go
like a rat in the hole
with a nail in its skull
I scrape the razor blade just to make it through the day
and the smell of your clothes is all that remains
Wide open hills and biting on pills
scrape the day away, throw it all away
Im waiting until I can be with you
scrape the day away, throw it all away
THROW IT ALL AWAY! THROW IT ALL AWAY!
THROW IT ALL AWAY! THROW IT ALL AWAY!
Wide open hills and biting on pills
scrape the day away, throw it all away
Im waiting until I can be with you
scrape the day away, throw it all away
WIDE OPEN HILLS AND BITING ON PILLS!
THROW IT ALL AWAY! THROW IT ALL AWAY!
I'M WATING UNTILL I CAN BE WITH YOU!
look at what you've done to me
look at what you've done to me
look at what you've done to me
look at what you've done to me
look at what you've done to me
look at what you've done to me
look at what you've done to me
look at what you've done to me
Scrape the day away, throw it all away
I'm waiting until I can be with you
Scrape the day away, throw it all away
Why don't you take that razor out the draw
and slit my wrists
watch me bleed all on the floor
I can't take this shit
I can't take it anymore
either kill me or kill yourself or kill us both
cause I need help
your my fucking enemy
my best friend, my heroin
the only thing I know
and you stab me in the back again
you told me you loved me
I thought that you had love for me
but you haven't touched me, felt me, fucked me in so long now
you never trust me
its so wrong how
look at what you done to me
I scrape the razor blade just to make it through the day
and the smell of your clothes is all that remains
Wide open hills and biting on pills
scrape the day away, throw it all away
Im waiting until I can be with you
scrape the day away, throw it all away

look at what you've done to me

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.
