I didn't mean to break your heart
I was just lonely
And everybody falls apart sometimes
I know you've found another one
But won't you just hold me tonight

I wish I never called you up
Nobody told me
And they don't know we don't speak anymore
So take a good look at us
Won't you just hold me tonight

And I will stop trying to fall in love again
And keep it a secret
It never works out, anyway
But I am not, anything like I was
'Cause you were the only one for me
Yeah, yeah

'Cause maybe I don't wanna lose a lover and friend in one night
If that's right
I shouldn't have fucked with your mind
And your life too many times
Or maybe I don't wanna be lonely
Darling, you are my only love
Behind my truth lies everything you are

I never meant to sleep around
I was just lonely
You did the same, again and again and again
Oh, I know
So here's to the both of us
Here's to our story tonight

Oh, I will stop trying to fall in love again
And keep it a secret
It never works out, anyway
But I am not, anything like I was
'Cause you were the only one for me
Hmm, yeah

Maybe I don't wanna lose a lover and friend in one night
If that's right
I shouldn't have fucked with your mind
And your life too many times
Or maybe I don't wanna be lonely
Darling, you are my only love
Behind my truth lies everything you are

When I see my future
It is with you
We'll get there
I want my children to be with you
We'll get there
hmm yeah

'Cause maybe I don't wanna lose a lover and friend in one night
If that's right
I shouldn't have fucked with your mind
And your life too many times
Or maybe I don't wanna be lonely
Darling, you are my only love
Behind my truth lies everything you are
Behind my truth lies everything you are
Behind my truth lies everything you are

    My Interpretation

    I didn't mean to break your heart I was just lonely And everybody falls apart sometimes I know you've found another one But won't you just hold me tonight?

    Apparently, they were far away from each other. So, he felt alone and hooked up with another person. Which is a normal thing, everybody falls apart sometimes. After finding out that he cheated, she started dating someone else. But he still likes her, so he asks for her loving once again.

    I wish I never called you up Nobody told me And they don't know we don't speak anymore So take a good look at us Won't you just hold me tonight?

    He might have called her asking another chance without knowing that she was already with another person, because nobody told him. Nobody knew that they weren't speaking after the break up. And he asks her to take a look on their story, who they were before it all happened.

    And I would stop trying to fall in love again And keep it a secret It never works out anyway But I am not anything like a was Cause you were the only one for me

    He convinces himself to stop trying to fall in love with another person because it never really works. And he's trying to say that we would never do this again, that was an old version of him. She was the only one for him even though he cheated on her.

    Cause maybe I don't want to lose a lover and friend in one night If that's right I shouldn't have fucked with your mind And your life too many times And maybe I don't want to be lonely Darling you are my only love Behind my truth lies everything you are

    Even though they were boyfriend and girlfriend, she was his friend and he didn't wanna lose all of it. He was such a dick with her but he stills want another chance. He will feel lonely without her, like he did when cheated back then. And after everything he did, after everything he was, she still was a light on his path. "Behind my truth lies everything you are" So if he is sincere today, is because of her. She leads him to the right way.

    I never meant to sleep around I was just lonely You did the same, again, and again I know So here's to the both of us Here's to our story tonight

    He's sorry but not feeling guilty about hooking up with other people, because he knows that she did the same when they broke up. After all these mistakes, he's still trying to save the relationship that they had once.

    When I see my future It is with you We'll get there I want my children to be with you We'll get there

    He plans a future with her and he truly believes that it will happen.

    Thanks for reading it up, xx :)

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
