The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
When the night won't fall and the sun won't rise
And you see the best as you close your eyes
When you reach the top as you bottom out
But you understand what it's all about
Nothing's ever what it seems
In your life or in your dreams
It don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try makin' sense of you
Love just is, whatever it may be
Love just is, you and me
Nothing less and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for, love just is
When you ask to stay and then disappear
It seems you're gone but you're really here
When every move seems out of place
But every kiss is filled with grace
Some things never get defined
In your heart or in your mind
It don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try makin sense of you
Love just is, whatever it may be
Love just is, you and me
Nothing less (nothing less)
And nothing more (and nothing more)
I don't know what I love you for, love just is
Don't ever ask me for reasons (don't ever ask me)
I can't give to you
Don't ever ask me for reasons (don't ever ask me)
Why I live for you, I just do
I just do
Nothing's ever what it seems
In your life or in your dreams
Don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try makin' sense of you
Love (love) just (just) is (is), whatever it may be
Love (love) just (just) is (is), you and me
Nothing less (nothing less)
And nothing more (and nothing more)
I don't know what I love you for
Love (love) just (just) is
Love just is
And you see the best as you close your eyes
When you reach the top as you bottom out
But you understand what it's all about
Nothing's ever what it seems
In your life or in your dreams
It don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try makin' sense of you
Love just is, whatever it may be
Love just is, you and me
Nothing less and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for, love just is
When you ask to stay and then disappear
It seems you're gone but you're really here
When every move seems out of place
But every kiss is filled with grace
Some things never get defined
In your heart or in your mind
It don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try makin sense of you
Love just is, whatever it may be
Love just is, you and me
Nothing less (nothing less)
And nothing more (and nothing more)
I don't know what I love you for, love just is
Don't ever ask me for reasons (don't ever ask me)
I can't give to you
Don't ever ask me for reasons (don't ever ask me)
Why I live for you, I just do
I just do
Nothing's ever what it seems
In your life or in your dreams
Don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try makin' sense of you
Love (love) just (just) is (is), whatever it may be
Love (love) just (just) is (is), you and me
Nothing less (nothing less)
And nothing more (and nothing more)
I don't know what I love you for
Love (love) just (just) is
Love just is

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
There is no reason to "Hate" Hilary. She helps kids in need whenever and wherever she can. Even with a busy schedule and a full calendar, she has taken time to personally autograph some very special items for the Kids With A Cause on-line auction. No she does not write her songs. She does, but not all of them by herself. I think all of you that say you "hate" her, are retarded. You apparently have noo clue how powerful the word hate is.. How could you hate someone that finds time out of her busy schedule to still give to charity, sign autographs, and much more. I've met her and there is nothing I could ever hate about her. You might dislike her music or her singing. But give me 3 reasons why you should Hate, Her.
