The song "Fortnight" by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word "fortnight" shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me
Why are You so far, so far away from saving me
Oh Lord, I cry every night and every day
But I fear You don't hear all these tears, I'm wasting away
You are holy, I know
You are holding me, don't let go
My God You are never far from me
And there's trouble here
My God You are and I've got to believe
That You can hear me
They laugh, they say "who will save such a crazy fool?
Where is this God who will come to the rescue?"
But so many before have trusted You, Lord
I'll wait and I won't be afraid
I'll trust You, I won't be ashamed
Cause You are holy, and You know me
You are holding me, don't let go
My God You are never far from me
When there's trouble here
My God You are and I've got to believe
That You're always near
My God You are never far from me
And You can hear me
Answer me, please answer me
Answer me, please answer me
Oh, You are holy and You know me
You have always been my God
My God You are never far from me
And there's trouble here
My God You are, and I've got to believe
That You're always here
My God You are never far from me, and I know You're near
My God You are never leaving me, and I do believe
Why are You so far, so far away from saving me
Oh Lord, I cry every night and every day
But I fear You don't hear all these tears, I'm wasting away
You are holy, I know
You are holding me, don't let go
My God You are never far from me
And there's trouble here
My God You are and I've got to believe
That You can hear me
They laugh, they say "who will save such a crazy fool?
Where is this God who will come to the rescue?"
But so many before have trusted You, Lord
I'll wait and I won't be afraid
I'll trust You, I won't be ashamed
Cause You are holy, and You know me
You are holding me, don't let go
My God You are never far from me
When there's trouble here
My God You are and I've got to believe
That You're always near
My God You are never far from me
And You can hear me
Answer me, please answer me
Answer me, please answer me
Oh, You are holy and You know me
You have always been my God
My God You are never far from me
And there's trouble here
My God You are, and I've got to believe
That You're always here
My God You are never far from me, and I know You're near
My God You are never leaving me, and I do believe

Amazing

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.

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.
