Let me tell you daddy,

Momma ain't gonna sit and grieve

Pack up your stuff and get ready to leave


I stood your foolishness long enough,

So now I'm gonna call your bluff

On certain things
I'm gonna call your hand,

so, now daddy here's my plan


Ain't gonna play no second fiddle 'cause

I'm used to playin' lead


You must think that I am blind,

You've been cheatin' me all the time

Whoa yeah, you still flirt

And you'll notice I ain't hurt,

To see you with my chum

Do you think that I am dumb?


You cause me to drink,

When I sit down and think

And see that you never take heed

I called to your house the other night,

Caught you and your good girl havin' a fight


I ain't gonna play no second fiddle 'cause

I'm used to playin lead


I caught you with your good-time vamp,

So, now poppa I'm gonna put out your lamp

Oh, poppa, I ain't sore

You ain't gonna mess up with me no more

I'm gonna flirt with another shiek,

then you're gonna hang your head an' weep


Ain't gonna play no second fiddle 'cause

I'm used to playin' lead

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
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"

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
