i received your letter in the mail sounds like times are hard for you again you said that you'd be nineteen in september of this year and you're breaking up with your first girlfriend "my dad and i got in a fight, he told me to leave" when everything was fine there isn't much that i can do to help you tes it's true but i promise that the hurt will heal in time... and you don't deserve this lies can't pretend, just another way of thinking people can change when it seems they're not there for you truth cannot lie, never heard a better word that trust yes it's in you, know that it's true and right let me count the ways that i feel so sorry when it rains it drains the spirit dry we all have our mishaps, misfortunes, misopportunities and the strength to carry on consider yourself free... and you don't deserve this lies can't pretend, just another way of thinking people can change when it seems they're not there for you truth cannot lie, never heard a better word that trust yes it's in you, know that it's true and right

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.
