Well maybe it's a shame
That it happened this way
But there's nothing, I can do
And I know you like to say
That in a week it will not change
But we both know, it ain't true

So tell me for the last time why you're here
And I'll pretend to love you for the fear of breaking you

Close your eyes
Baby take the time to choose
What it is you want to do
Cause I'm not sorry
And in the end
You know it all comes back to you
So take the time to choose
Cause I'm not sorry

So turn your head away
From the mess that we have made
Cause there's nothing, we can do
Well don't you feel ashamed
When the light begins to fade
On the one thing you thought you knew

And tell me for the last time why you're here
And I'll pretend to love you for the fear of breaking you

Close your eyes
Baby take the time to choose
What it is you want to do
Cause I'm not sorry
And in the end you know it all comes back to you
So take the time to choose
Cause I'm not sorry

Lonely eyes I cannot trust
I know its tough love but we must
Cut the ties and throw it away
I never wanted it this way
A broken heart is left to bleed
An open book is left to read
It's crystal clear so tell me why can?t you see?

Close you're eyes
Baby take the time to choose
What it is you want to do
Cause I'm not sorry
And in the end you know it all comes back to you
So take the time to choose
Cause I'm not sorry no no
Cause I'm not sorry oh no no
Cause I'm not sorry

    Beautiful, beautiful intro!

    I really like Test Your Reflex, they're one of those bands that people underappreciate.

    This song doesn't really specify what happened between the two, but it almost seems like he's given up caring about the relationship and isn't sorry about that because of something she did "Lonely eyes I cannot trust." He says there's nothing he can do to change what happens because she is the one who has to decide to throw it away or not. He feels bad for how she feels now, "And I'll pretend to love you for the fear of breaking you," but he's still bitter "Well don't you feel ashamed when the light begins to fade on the one thing you thought you knew," and "It's crystal clear so tell me why can't you see?" Seems like he's trying to be a gentleman about the situation while fighting back urges to hurt her back.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

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.

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.
