I like it loud, you turn it down
You wanna talk, but what about?
I wanna dance, you cut me off
Who falls asleep at ten o' clock?

Ain't got no sympathy
Don't wipe your tears on me
I hate to be so mean
But I just have to say

This is not an apology
I'm just a little bit stronger than you
This is not an apology
You're such a chick, it makes me feel like a dude
My finger's up, I've had enough
You're going down, so say goodbye to us
This is not an apology, hey
(This is not an apology)

I was the girl lain in the dirt
Rather ripped-up jeans than a miniskirt
Don't need two hours to get out the door
You're supposed to be the guy, who do you need more?

Ain't got no sympathy
Don't wipe your tears on me
I hate to be so mean
But I just have to say

This is not an apology
I'm just a little bit stronger than you
This is not an apology
You're such a chick, it makes me feel like a dude
My finger's up, I've had enough
You're going down, so say goodbye to us
This is not an apology, hey

And I never will be the girl who says sorry
And you should have known right from the start
I needed a hero, and I got a zero, so pack your bags
And take your broken heart

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is not an apology
I'm just a little bit stronger than you
This is not an apology
You're such a chick, it makes me feel like a dude
My finger's up, I've had enough
You're going down, so say goodbye to us
This is not an apology, hey

This is not an apology
I'm just a little bit stronger than you
This is not an apology
You're such a chick, it makes me feel like a dude
My finger's up, I've had enough
You're going down, so say goodbye to us
This is not an apology, hey
This is not an apology

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Album art
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Album art
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.
