@[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.
Lend me your ear and
I'll tell you about the things I fear
Open your heart and
I'll tell you why I'm torn apart maybe
Lend me your car
And we'll go chase down a falling star
Give me your hand
Cause it takes that fire to understand
When was the last time you felt high
Oh you were the best I've ever felt
Cause I don't need you to fix me
I just want you to listen
It's killing me too
It's so wrong not to be with you
It's getting harder to stay awake
It's killing me too
It stops my heart just to be with you
So listen 'cause you are
The only one who cares to hear
Lend me your time and
We'll go somewhere
And kill some wine
Show me your soul and I'll shine my light
Where it seems so cold now
Give me your lips and I'll tell you about
All the things I miss the most
Open your mind and
I'll crawl right up and sleep inside of it
When was the last time you felt high
Oh you were the best I've ever felt
Cause I don't need you to fix me
I just want you to listen
It's killing me too
It's so wrong not to be with you
It's getting harder to stay awake
It's killing me too
It stops my heart just to be with you
So listen 'cause you are
The only one who cares to hear
When was the last time you felt high
Oh you were the best I've ever felt
Cause I don't need you to fix me
I just want you to listen
It's killing me too
It's so wrong not to be with you
It's getting harder to stay awake
It's killing me too
It stops my heart just to be with you
So listen 'cause you are
The only one who cares to hear
To hear me
I'll tell you about the things I fear
Open your heart and
I'll tell you why I'm torn apart maybe
Lend me your car
And we'll go chase down a falling star
Give me your hand
Cause it takes that fire to understand
When was the last time you felt high
Oh you were the best I've ever felt
Cause I don't need you to fix me
I just want you to listen
It's killing me too
It's so wrong not to be with you
It's getting harder to stay awake
It's killing me too
It stops my heart just to be with you

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.
I agree with all the other comments here. A couple who can't be together anymore, and it's killing them both. He wants so much to be with her, or just to be close to her, but he can't.
