Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody gives you guarantees
'Cause a heart can always be broken
And there can be no loving without tears

Runaway to a place where nobody knows
Runaway gotta let this feeling go
Runaway if I can't find love,
I'm gonna runaway

Nobody's looking for perfection
How could they give it in return
But I told my heart to believe you
And you just gave your love to anyone

Runaway to a place where nobody knows
Runaway gotta let this feeling go
Runaway and I don't want to hurt anymore
Though my heart is always aching
If I can't find love,
I'm gonna runaway

    Song Meaning
    i love this part : "Nobody said it would be easy Nobody gives you guarantees 'Cause a heart can always be broken And there can be no loving without tears" really , we must not expect others to give us guarantees about our lifes ... every other have their oun life and they do what they wanna do , i know there's something behind it called selfishness ! but that s our problem cause they didn gave us guarantees at real even if they gave us promise that s just a word ! just a word... does someone brake ur heart ? so learn from it ! dont let any other one break ur heart and go find the real one... maybe one day u ll find it but deserve searching...

Another Love
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.

Sunglasses at Night
Corey Hart
In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Me and Johnny
Matt Paxton
Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
