This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I hope you never write are you ever wrong. Its the story of your life or is that the TV on.
If you played your part as well as I could play along. You would still be called a liar and I would still come back for more. â??I hope you die from dreamingâ??
Your all alone, never thought you would be the one to go. Did you think you weren't replaceable? Funny how you were the last to know. That you're all alone
Sympathetic cries over our favorite song. I hate you when you're here and miss you when you're gone. So say goodbye I'm breaking this off for good. From all the first day to the last days. My story of the girl. It's my last time fore screaming.
Your all alone, never thought you would be the one to go. Did you think you weren't replaceable? Funny how you were the last to know. That you're all alone
So what would it take for you to discover. That I was the loser I was the sucker. How would you feel if I saw another and she made me happy would you ever recover.
Since its what I wan I hope you never recover. Since its what I want. (you would think I would be stronger)
Your all alone, never thought you would be the one to go. Did you think you weren't replaceable? Funny how you were the last to know. That you're all alone
Your all alone, never thought you would be the one to go. Did you think you weren't replaceable? Funny how you were the last to know. That you're all alone

Page

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.
uhm. i just think its about this guy persuing his dremas. and he thinks about his ex-girlfriend, who's all alone - or at least he wants her to be, cause he wanna be the one, who moved on the best after their breakup. the winnerinstict. i dont know how wrong i am on this one.
Close. It's about a guy who will be alone in his old age...probably starting in a few years since he's graying and aging and soon the young girls will find him just plain creepy. He'll resort to booze and harder drugs...and more gay guys out of need. She's definitely laughing at him. He's earned her hatred.
