Thoughts of you to start my day
All the things you used to say
Loving you is just a memory
But that's the way that it's gotta be

I'm better off without you
I'm better off on my own
I'm better off without you
I know that I must be strong
I got to carry on
I'm better off without you

So many miles of memories
Of the way our life used to be
Holding in the morning light
Now I just can't seem to get you off of my mind

I'm better off without you
I'm better off on my own
Better off without you
I know that I must be strong
Ooh, I got to carry on
I can't convince myself
But I know it's true
I'm better off without you

Tables turn, lessons learn
Oh lessons been learned so well
Goes to show that you never know
There's a part of me that can't believe
But if you love somebody you gotta set them free

I'm better off without you
I'm better off on my own
Better off without you
I know that I must be strong
But, I got to carry on
I keep telling myself
That it can't be true true
I'm better off without you
(Better off without you)

I'm better off without you
(Better off without you)
Better off without you
(Better off without you)
Better off without you
(Better off without you)

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
