The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
People going nowhere taken for a ride,
Looking for the answers that they know inside,
Searching for a reason looking for a rhyme
Snow White parasite partners in crime!
Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Ah don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never never, never say die again
Sunday satisfaction, Monday's home and dry
Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie
All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go
Hold tight do it right, taken it slow
Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Ahh don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never never, never say die again
Don't you ever say die
Don't you ever say die
Never say die
Fading silver lining, writing on the wall
Children get together, you can save us all
Future's on the corner, showing us a time
Slow down turn around ev'rything's fine
There's no need to have a reason
There's no need to wonder why
It's a part of me that tells you
Ahh don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never never, never say die again
Looking for the answers that they know inside,
Searching for a reason looking for a rhyme
Snow White parasite partners in crime!
Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Ah don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never never, never say die again
Sunday satisfaction, Monday's home and dry
Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie
All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go
Hold tight do it right, taken it slow
Don't they ever have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Ahh don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never never, never say die again
Don't you ever say die
Don't you ever say die
Never say die
Fading silver lining, writing on the wall
Children get together, you can save us all
Future's on the corner, showing us a time
Slow down turn around ev'rything's fine
There's no need to have a reason
There's no need to wonder why
It's a part of me that tells you
Ahh don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never never, never say die again

@[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.

“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.
