You don't want me but I don't care
I'm independent when there's no one there
I'm not a substitute and it's wearing thin
Why can't you see that I won't give in
There's a rumor how can it be true
The way that people talk it's as if they knew
And though I try I hope you understand
If I'm alone with you it could get out of hand

Please don't make me wait
In front of you
Love comes too late
We're in a spin
Confused within
It must be fate
Love comes too late

I believe it was meant to be
But when you threw me out I guess it made me see
It would be a drag from my point of view
That's the kind of thing that I'd expect from you
What can I do I'll never be the same
Another day without you would drive me insane
It's a real life drama that I can't work out
Don't think about it let me take you out

Please don't make me wait
In front of you
Love comes too late
We're in a spin
Confused within
It must be fate
Love comes too late

    General Comment

    This song represents life in an emotional state of limbo where one is unsure of what's going to happen next; prominent at the end of common relationships. She or he pretends to be strong and independent – ignoring the pain, suffering and pulling through discomfort. One week after break-up or so, rumors fly around but one is left with denial instead. Suck it up. One will ask "What to they know about us?". They know more than what you think.

    Things only get worse as time unfurls. I believe that Bernard explains that waiting in front of someone, asking to be loved is unbearable, especially when the other party doesn't feel the same way. Things will change, don't expect anything to be the same... someone will hurt the other and sadly that's how it goes.

    P.s. If you're reading this... I think you know who you are... I still remember what you told me about this song and how I made you go through that then. I'm sorry.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
