I thought things couldn't get much worse
But guess what they did
You hit my heart upside with a wrecking ball
Oh but that's what I get
But I'm not going nowhere
I can live on my prayers
'Cause I'm done playin' nice
I'm done running for life
'Cause you think that you got me scared

This time it's goodbye trouble
I feel the light at the end of this tunnel
I get stronger with every step

Come Hell, come high water
You push on me I'm going to push back harder
I got a whole lot more than a little bit left
Oh, so don't put dirt on my grave just yet
Oh, don't put dirt on my grave just yet

Everyone can save their breath
They can spare me the change
You can point your finger somewhere else
If you're looking to blame

I'll give you something to believe
Nothing on me says defeat
No I'll never look back
So you better think fast
If you think you can cut me deep

This time it's goodbye trouble
I feel the light at the end of this tunnel
I get stronger with every step

Come Hell, come high water
You push on me I'm going to push back harder
I got a whole lot more than a little bit left
Hey, so don't put dirt on my grave just yet
Oh, don't put dirt on my grave just yet

Hey!
Well it's going to take more, going to take more, going to take more, to pull me under
Going to take more, going to take more, going to take more than that to pull me under!

This time it's goodbye trouble
I feel the light at the end of this tunnel
I get stronger with every step

Come Hell, come high water
You push on me I'm going to push back harder
I got a whole lot more than a little bit left
Oh, so don't put dirt on my grave just yet
Oh, don't put dirt on my grave just yet
Don't put dirt on my grave just yet.

    Even though in the show Nashville it is obvious what this song means. When listened out of the show, I get the idea it was also meant to mean that even if someone's had it hard

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.

Page
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.
