She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted, I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late and
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damn indecision and cursed pride
I kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted, I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late and
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damn indecision and cursed pride
I kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
Plastic Bag

“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.
I'm listening to this now. I always thought it was sad, but now that I'm actually looking at the lyrics, it's bringing tears to my eyes. I'd forgotten just how simple, yet amazingly beautiful this song is. MJ sings this song with so much emotion. Stunning.
I adore this song. So sad and true. He preforms this magically in the Bucharest concert!
Yes! It surprised me how much he managed to sound like Micheal though. It was funny.
this song makes me cry every time i listen to it
Especially now that he's gone. ;`(
the bit in the end where his voice breaks gets me everytime.
I know exactly what Michael's singing about here. Sometimes I stop up and realise that I'm forgetting to enjoy and be in the moment instead of allways trying to get to the next thing. I just broke up with my girlfriend and now I feel like I haven't enjoyed it as much as I should have. I took her for granted I was so Cavalier. Now the way that it stands she's out of my hands.
i just listened to this song not more than 5 minutes ago. cant belive there is only one post. wow. i dont usually like mj's stuff but this song gave me chills. prob cuz i can apply it to my life.
You ever see the Eddie Murphy bit about this song? "Tito, get me some tissue. Jermaine, stop teasing."
Yes! It's priceless!<br /> <br /> "Michael will get all emotional and cry on your ass!". <br /> <br /> "Is it alright if I come down there and sing to you?"...."aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!". :-)
this song makes me cry every time i listen to it
Is it about his relationship with Tatum O'Neill?
