I can read you
I don't need too
Everything is someone else's fault
Responsaphobia is catchin' up with
I'm tryin' to forget my own strict guidelines I forgot to set.
The carpet sticks
The T.V's calling for you.

Denying everything
Might only make it worse.
But things are hard to say, when someone's leavin'
Somebody else is leavin now.

Now everything's been blown away
It's self inflicted I've just got to say
My own complacency replacing anger
A different life with only me
A life of nil is all that I can see
Confusion grows the pain will go in time but

Enough to make you stay
To stop me thinkin'everyday
If it only is
If it only could be
If it only was.

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/

Blue

“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.

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.
