You should seen it before you jumped on in, and realized that if you look before you leap then you decide to sink or swim
But you dove into that social pool, powdering your nose huh, and going home with people that you hardly even know
And you're a ghost
Now look at you, you hardly even speak, haven't woken up to the thought of getting clean in fuckin' weeks
And if you did, I guarantee you'd never leave the sheets, home alone until that fix comes, put you on your feet
And some blame it on the city, some blame it on the streets, some bury it inside beneath that dream of being free
But I can see it in your eyes, that you're aware of what it needs, how you feel like it's the only thing in love that doesn't leave
And it's a shame, cause I remember life without the games, and the bittersweet acknowledgment of how it's gonna change
But the rain can't wash you if you're laying in the dirt, and the pain can't change you if you blame it on the hurt

So God help us
So God help us
So God help us
So God help us

I mean look at you, Mr. I-don't-even-have-a-clue
Mr. get it right the first time or shut it down from you
Cause you're the boss, and Daddy taught you how to be a mine
Via stepping out on Mommy and releasing with your hands
And now it hurts, cause you can't even question what is right, life is nothing but a challenge and you want to win the fight
So go ahead, try and make that old man proud, and beat that last remaining angel off your shoulder to the ground
And then escape, slap the world steady in its face and make moves on em, force em all to cater to your taste
Exterminate the good in you that tried to fly away, when you figured out the only human part of you is pain
And then it raised you, sunk its dirty fangs into your drained roots, threw you to the fire when you thought that you were flame proof
So that's the reason why you're sinking alone, and going home without a rescuer and drinking alone

So God help us
So God help us
So God help us
So God help us

Now jump, yeah jump into the fire, just jump
Yeah jump into the fire, just jump, yeah jump into the fire
You're Mommy's little angel, I'm Daddy's little squire
Now Jump, yeah jump into the fire, just jump
Yeah jump into the fire, just jump, yeah jump into the fire
You're Mommy's little angel, I'm Daddy's little squire

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.
