What's the bullshit for?
Verbal battlefield, syllables of war
I shut myself off and it happens again
You're not my friend
You're not my friend
You're not my friend

The winter knocked on my door like a selfish bitch
I'm glad that you haven't got your wish
In the cold all alone I've been thinking of everyone but you

And it feels like seventh grade again
And none of this will ever end
I'm just your public malcontent
Another extraneous trend
Don't try to be like me
Because I'm not one to compete
To obtain the status of a symbol of idolatry

This time I'd really rather be alone
Can we forget this? I can just go home
This time I'd really rather be alone

Acting unaffected by this hand of fate
Saying "everything's okay!" with a straight face
I remember when you said I could count on you for anything

And I still hold on but you'll hold off
And play another dumb charade again
I'm driving my car home
And never walking in the rain again
I miss the smell of Taco Bell
And places that we knew too well
It's driving me crazy

This time I'd really rather be alone
Can we forget this? I can just go home
This time I'd really rather be alone

I'm bleeding profusely from my insides
While you're smiling cause you're stealing all of my best lines
I'm doubled over and I'm taking my own side

Over and over again I'm so useless
Now you're becoming everything
Well was I ever anything?
Everyone I love always leaves me
My judgement's been off this time
Your words will always still be mine
This time I'd really rather be alone
Can we forget this? I can just go home
This time I'd really rather be alone

I'm bleeding profusely from my insides
While you're smiling cause you're stealing all of my best lines
I'm doubled over and I'm taking my own side

And I'll be slapped on crowded streets
And in some lame cry of defeat
I'll open up and shout it loud
"Fuck that! Turn off the new sound"

Over and over again I'm so useless
Now you're becoming everything
Well was I ever anything?
Everyone I love always leaves me
My judgement's off this time
(For the last time, what's left beside me now?)
No one in this world is ever listening
Pay attention now

At home alone again all night
Expect the worst and you'll be 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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
