This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I think that it's time that I should just let you go
So I'll tell it to your face instead of tell it to you on the phone
You see I thought that you were special baby somethin' unique
But lately I've come to find
That you're not really interested in my heart or mind
That's alright
That's okay
You never loved me anyway
And I think it's time for you to just move on
That's alright
That's okay
I bet you never thought you'd hear me say
That I think it's time for you to find another dumb blonde
Cause it's not me, no, no
Cause it's not me, no, no
Oh, no
Last night I went to a party hopin' I'd see you there
And sure enough, you were hanging on some other girl, playin' with
her hair
And I overheard you tellin' her the very same thing you said to me
the night before
Hook, line and sinker
You were walkin' with her out the door
That's alright
That's okay
You never loved me anyway
And I think it's time for you to just move on
That's alright
That's okay
I bet you never thought you'd hear me say
That I think it's time for you to find another dumb blonde
Cause it's not me, no, no
You are just a little trophy hangin' on your arm
So all all your friends will see you got it goin' on
But I see what you are so clearly
But baby, baby that's not all I ever need
That's alright
That's okay
I never loved you anyway
That's alright
That's okay
You never loved me anyway
You never loved me but it's alright
But it's alright, yeah, yeah
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Go ahead and find what you need
So I'll tell it to your face instead of tell it to you on the phone
You see I thought that you were special baby somethin' unique
But lately I've come to find
That you're not really interested in my heart or mind
That's alright
That's okay
You never loved me anyway
And I think it's time for you to just move on
That's alright
That's okay
I bet you never thought you'd hear me say
That I think it's time for you to find another dumb blonde
Cause it's not me, no, no
Cause it's not me, no, no
Oh, no
Last night I went to a party hopin' I'd see you there
And sure enough, you were hanging on some other girl, playin' with
her hair
And I overheard you tellin' her the very same thing you said to me
the night before
Hook, line and sinker
You were walkin' with her out the door
That's alright
That's okay
You never loved me anyway
And I think it's time for you to just move on
That's alright
That's okay
I bet you never thought you'd hear me say
That I think it's time for you to find another dumb blonde
Cause it's not me, no, no
You are just a little trophy hangin' on your arm
So all all your friends will see you got it goin' on
But I see what you are so clearly
But baby, baby that's not all I ever need
That's alright
That's okay
I never loved you anyway
That's alright
That's okay
You never loved me anyway
You never loved me but it's alright
But it's alright, yeah, yeah
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Go ahead and find what you need

@[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.

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.

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.

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.
Recently, I dated a guy who was just playing with me. Little did he know, I was the wrong person to play. I dumped him big time. This is my theme song.
