Mmm-mmm, mmm

I'm here, just like I said
Though it's breaking every rule I've ever made
My racing heart is just the same
Why make it strong to break it once again?
And I'd love to say I do
Give everything to you
But I could never now be true

So I say
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now

I'm here, so please explain
Why you're opening up a healing wound again
I'm a little more careful
Perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs
At least I'm spared the lows

And I would tremble in your arms
What could be the harm?
To feel my spirit calm

So I say
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now

I wouldn't know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back
Like you say, you're right on track
But you may never know why
Once bitten, twice as shy
If I'm proud, perhaps I should explain
I couldn't bear to lose you again

Mmm-hmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm

Think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
I'm feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now

Yes, I will
I think I better leave right now
I'm feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper

I think I better leave right now

    This is Will Young's best song to date, in my opinion. It's a really sweet love song but it's also quite sad in a way, too. It's about knowing when to let go of someone you love very much even though you don't want to. I'm not a Will Young fan, but i don't mind him and this is a good pop song.

    I have to say, I do like this song. I'm not really a Will Young fan. But this song did particularly strike a cord with me. Describes perfectly how despite this person hurting you before you have previously kept going back for more. You finally realise that you to leave, in order to save yourself from this happening again.

    i think this song is about loving someone and knowing they make you happy. but you have to let go or else you will get hurt again so u have to leave before you fall deeper and deeper in love with them. but also knowing u cant and thinking "Now i tremble in your arms But what could beat the harms" i think this song is great and i can totally relate to it.

    This song really means so much to me. It describes perfectly the feelings we all have, that one person we truly loved and lost wants to come back in your life, and there is nothing more that you could possibly ask for, but you know in your heart it isnt right, and you cant face the pain again, but something wont let you let go....What do you do???

    !if i lose hte highs, at least im spared the lows". this line is so sweet. im not sure i agree with it but it does demonstrate that life is not always idealised like in most love/heartbrake songs. thanx

    I think this is about unrequited love and how you keep spending time in that someone’s company even though it causes you pain because they don’t want you.

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.

Magical
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.

Head > Heels

Amazing
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.
