This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away, feel you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that go
Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more

Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
'Cause each day that passes by
You got me never knowing if I'm coming or going
But I love you, yes I do
I love you, this old heart weeps for you

I try hard to hide my hurt inside
This old heart of mine always keeps me crying
The way you treat me leaves me incomplete
You're here for the day, gone for the week

But if I leave me a hundred times
A hundred times I'll take you back
I'm yours whenever you want me
I want to shout about it, tell the world about it

'Cause I love you, this old heart weeps for you
I love you, this old heart weeps for you

This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times
Each time you break away, feel you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that go
Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more

Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside
'Cause each day that passes by
You got me never knowing if I'm coming or going
But I love you, yes I do
This old heart weeps for you
I love you
I love you, yes I do
Yes I do
I love you, this old heart weeps for you
I love you, darling weeps for you
I love you, yes I do
I love you

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

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.
