@[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.
I tried so hard to be your man
I put my future in your hands
And I've gone a million miles
To reach your arms
And I did all that I could do
But all I did to ya was to worry you
And now today I hear you say
That we must part, that we must part
But when you get out on that highway
And the blues start coming down
Then you'll see just how lonesome
Life can really be, life can really be
Well, then I hope you meet somebody
And they dodge your heart around
Then you cry and wish that you
Were back with me, back with me
I know that love is never fair
And if you call me, baby I'll be there
Just like a fool I'll always be
In love with you
Baby, baby but when you get out on that highway
And the blues start coming down
Then you'll see just how lonesome
Life can really be, life can really be
Well, then I hope you'll meet and need somebody
And they'll dodge your poor heart around
Then you cry, cry, cry and wish that you
Were here with me, were here with me
I know that love is never, never, never fair
But if you call me, baby, trust me, I'll be there
Just like a big old fool
I'll always be still in love with you
Yeah baby, no matter what you do
I really love you
I put my future in your hands
And I've gone a million miles
To reach your arms
And I did all that I could do
But all I did to ya was to worry you
And now today I hear you say
That we must part, that we must part
But when you get out on that highway
And the blues start coming down
Then you'll see just how lonesome
Life can really be, life can really be
Well, then I hope you meet somebody
And they dodge your heart around
Then you cry and wish that you
Were back with me, back with me
I know that love is never fair
And if you call me, baby I'll be there
Just like a fool I'll always be
In love with you
Baby, baby but when you get out on that highway
And the blues start coming down
Then you'll see just how lonesome
Life can really be, life can really be
Well, then I hope you'll meet and need somebody
And they'll dodge your poor heart around
Then you cry, cry, cry and wish that you
Were here with me, were here with me
I know that love is never, never, never fair
But if you call me, baby, trust me, I'll be there
Just like a big old fool
I'll always be still in love with you
Yeah baby, no matter what you do
I really love you

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
