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"
If she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't want her, don't want her
And if she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't need her
You can keep her
If she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't want her, don't want her
And if she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't need her
You can keep her
I need a bitch to hold my stash, a bitch to give me some ass
And when I'm on the run I need a hoe to send me some cash
I'm a ball 'til I fall and that's the first right
I need a bitch to watch my house while I live the street life
And I know it sound crazy
I want a gangsta bitch to have my baby
And pack a 380
And ride calm by the po-pos with dope in the Mercedes
And known to be a lady
And massage me with Hennessy and weed when she bathe me
If she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't want her, don't want her
And if she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't need her
You can keep her
If she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't want her, don't want her
And if she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't need her
You can keep her
She gotta be a gangsta bitch, 'bout that gangsta shit
I'm living this gangsta life doing this mob-style shit
I smash like Clyde but need that Bonnie on the side
To hold my straps and busts caps at niggas naps
We can sip Hen be homies and best friends
Smash off X-O get his and hers M-10's
Collect my cash, conduct yourself with class
Get respect from my soldiers everytime you pass
When I can't be seen you can inform my team
Call that shot to keep the block on pop
And chop more chickens than KFC
Lay down organize crime be my D O G
If she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't want her, don't want her
And if she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't need her
You can keep her
If she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't want her, don't want her
And if she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't need her
You can keep her
I need a gangsta bitch, I need a gangsta gimp
I need a top notch shorty to hold my clip
Baby, don't be afraid to fall in love with a thug
All you get from this lesson, baby girl is true love
She was dapping me, colonel, on my jump when I was locked down
My black queen's sendin' me Lex to the carpound
She see me now, she closer than my bitch
She my boo 'cause she down to do some gangsta shit
And if a bitch trip
She down to boot her for free
My little mama go to work everyday
I run the streets she's a G bitch
If she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't want her, don't want her
And if she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't need her
You can keep her
If she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't want her, don't want her
And if she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't need her
You can keep her
Then I don't want her, don't want her
And if she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't need her
You can keep her
If she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't want her, don't want her
And if she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't need her
You can keep her
I need a bitch to hold my stash, a bitch to give me some ass
And when I'm on the run I need a hoe to send me some cash
I'm a ball 'til I fall and that's the first right
I need a bitch to watch my house while I live the street life
And I know it sound crazy
I want a gangsta bitch to have my baby
And pack a 380
And ride calm by the po-pos with dope in the Mercedes
And known to be a lady
And massage me with Hennessy and weed when she bathe me
If she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't want her, don't want her
And if she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't need her
You can keep her
If she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't want her, don't want her
And if she ain't a gangsta bitch
Then I don't need her
You can keep her
She gotta be a gangsta bitch, 'bout that gangsta shit
I'm living this gangsta life doing this mob-style shit
I smash like Clyde but need that Bonnie on the side

Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
