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"
When you're gonna stop breaking my heart?
I don't wanna be another one
Paying for the things I never done
Don't let go, don't let go to my love
Can I get to your soul?
Can you get to my thought?
Can we promise we won't let go?
All the things that I need
All the things that you need
You can make it feel so real
'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind
When I touch your body
I feel I'm losing control
'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind
When I see you baby
I just don't want to let go
I hate to see you cry
Your smile is a beautiful lie
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I can fix all those lies
Oh baby, baby I run, but I'm running to you
You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside
My heart is in pain but I'm smiling for you
Can I get to your soul?
Can you get to my thought?
Can we promise we won't let go?
All the things that I need
All the things that you need
You can make it feel so real
'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind
When I touch your body
I feel I'm losing control
'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind
When I see you baby
I just don't want to let go
When you're gonna stop breaking my heart?
Don't let go, don't let go to my love
I hate to see you cry
Your smile is a beautiful lie
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I can fix all those lies
Oh baby, baby I run, but I'm running to you
You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside
My heart is in pain but I'm smiling for you
Oh baby I'll try to make the things right
I need you more than air when I'm not with you
Please don't ask me why, just kiss me this time
My only dream is about you and I
I don't wanna be another one
Paying for the things I never done
Don't let go, don't let go to my love
Can I get to your soul?
Can you get to my thought?
Can we promise we won't let go?
All the things that I need
All the things that you need
You can make it feel so real
'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind
When I touch your body
I feel I'm losing control
'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind
When I see you baby
I just don't want to let go
I hate to see you cry
Your smile is a beautiful lie
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I can fix all those lies
Oh baby, baby I run, but I'm running to you
You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside
My heart is in pain but I'm smiling for you
Can I get to your soul?
Can you get to my thought?
Can we promise we won't let go?
All the things that I need
All the things that you need
You can make it feel so real
'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind
When I touch your body
I feel I'm losing control
'Cause you can't deny, you've blown my mind
When I see you baby
I just don't want to let go
When you're gonna stop breaking my heart?
Don't let go, don't let go to my love
I hate to see you cry
Your smile is a beautiful lie
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I hate to see you cry
My love is dying inside
I can fix all those lies
Oh baby, baby I run, but I'm running to you
You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside
My heart is in pain but I'm smiling for you
Oh baby I'll try to make the things right
I need you more than air when I'm not with you
Please don't ask me why, just kiss me this time
My only dream is about you and I

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Holy daaaaang I love this song ;) Haha I have it on replay too I listen to it 24/7 I agree with what falbala says. The girl loves the boy and is trying to be the perfect girl for him. The music is totally awesome and the lyrics are captivating too. I think it's the guy who lies because of when is says "your smile is a beautiful lie"
Well, actually i think differently... I think they (boy and girl) are secret lovers. Maybe she married another guy, but truly loves the boy in the music. Her smile is a lie, he hates to see her unhappy. She has doubts: <br /> <br /> Can I get to your soul<br /> Can you get to my thought<br /> Can we promise we won't let go<br /> <br /> Thats why they can make it feel real, thats why he can fix all the lies, by saving her from the unhappy marriage and marrying her instead.<br /> What do you think?
