Here we go again
Another night of being bummed
I'll keep to myself, avoid the sun
And cancel plans with everyone I know
'Cause it's just how it always ends
Our bond will break 'cause you can't relate
To anyone, to anything at all

You brought your worst, and I'm right here (right here)
No, I've seen it all
And it's never been so clear

You're not the person that I knew back then (back then)
It's all too late to set things straight, 'cause everything has been
You're not the person that I knew back then
Let's try and act like this didn't happen
Follow your friends like you ever had them

You still know me
Still not cut out for this sort of thing
Never wanted to be caught in between
I need constant reminders of everything
(So what?) It's who I am
I played it off so well
I just hold it in no matter how I've been
So nobody, nobody can tell

You brought your worst, and I'm right here (right here)
No, I've seen it all
And it's never been so clear

You're not the person that I knew back then (back then)
It's all too late to set things straight, 'cause everything has been
You're not the person that I knew back then
Let's try and act like this didn't happen
Follow your friends like you ever had them

I won't sleep 'til the break of dawn (break of dawn)
Can't let our problems find me here
So everybody, come on

You brought your worst, and I'm right here
No, I've seen it all
And it's never been so clear

You're not the person that I knew back then (back then)
It's all too late to set things straight, 'cause everything has been
You're not the person that I knew back then
Let's try and act like this didn't happen
Follow your friends like you ever had them

(You're not the person that I knew back then)
(It's all too late to set things straight, 'cause everything has been)
(You're not the person that I knew back then)
(Let's try and act like this didn't happen)
(Follow your friends like you ever had them)

    i think it's about a boy & a girl who were really in love but eventhough, broke up since they just can't go on with the relationship, because they often fight + she can't releate to his family & friends

    because he loves her so much, he always retreats, and cancels plans he had just to be with her

    oh how much i can relate to this song....

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
