I have cried all night
Trying to make it better
I recognize my pain
Things are getting harder
For us to be in this love

And my tears wash away my smile
And I'm drowning in my sorrow
There's no hope for today
I can't see my tomorrow
'Cause we are no longer in love

This love, your love, my love
It used to be our love
This love, your love, my love
It used to be our love, love, love

I've been blazed all day
Dreading confrontation
I've waited until now
For this conversation to take place
That we're wasting time

With this love, I'm trying to be nice
Don't want you to be a hater
We've had our beautiful sons
So we gotta be one, sooner or later
'Cause we've got so much more, than this love

This love, your love, my love
It used to be our love
This love, your love, my love
It used to be our love, love, love

Can we still be, can we still be friends?
It will all end in tears if we decide
To leave, but stay, I'm so confused
I cant go on this way, I just can't go on, on this way

This love, your love, my love
It used to be our love
This love, your love, our love
It used to be our love, love, love

What happened to my love baby?
Now we got to think about our sons
So now it's over babe, now it's over baby, babe

    By far my favorite song by him! I can relate to this song kind of... sometimes you just can't believe that things are ending! I felt that way especially after my first love when I just wanted things to go back to the way things were- back when it was "our love"

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/

Punchline
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
