It's as if five fingers have crossed her face
I know because I have been there in that place
With angry eyes
You're hurting no more than I
It kills me to see you cry
I'm so sorry, but the pages must still turn
I played the part you told me and still I got burned
His blood was spilled, but I guess mine still has to be
You're hurting no more than I
It kills me to see you cry
You're hurting no more than I
You're hurting no more than I

Oh how sweet Your grace, It falls on me
It gives me peace when others can't let go
And Oh how sweet Your love
It saves me!
And I would give up anything for You!!!

    I think this song is about a guy who's in a relationship, and the two break up, and they're both torn about it ("You're hurting no more than I"), but he knows they must move on ("The pages must still turn), and eventually he turns to God about it (The entire last part), and how he realizes that God's love is better than a relationship.

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.
