Let's start by correcting ya tone
Lower ya finger, don't be comin' at me
With condescending demeanor
We both know that ya dead wrong

And what makes it worse
You don't even have the nerve
To ever say that you're sorry

You're never wrong and I'm never right
And you win all the rounds in every fight
That's why

Can't stay another day when you're always getting your way
You just keep getting your way
You just keep getting your way, ya selfish

So I decided not to get in your way
It's time to do it my way
And that means getting away from you, ya selfish

How is it that you can look at us and only see you?
You can look at one but never would you ever see two
You can live a lie and never be true
It's so funny now, how completely I can see you

You're never wrong and I'm never right
And you win all the rounds in every fight
That's why

Can't stay another day when you're always getting your way
You just keep getting your way
You just keep getting your way, ya selfish

So I decided not to get in your way
It's time to do it my way
And that means getting away from you, ya selfish

No, we don't need to talk
Ain't nothin' left to say
You got everything ya want
Go ahead and have ya cake

I know what's best for me
We go our separate ways
Leaving you with everything
Even all the pain

Can't stay another day when you're always getting your way
You just keep getting your way
You just keep getting your way, ya selfish

So I decided not to get in your way
It's time to do it my way
And that means getting away from you, ya selfish

Can't stay another day when you're always getting your way
You just keep getting your way
You just keep getting your way, ya selfish

So I decided not to get in your way
It's time to do it my way
And that means getting away from you, ya selfish

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

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.

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.
