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"
Sittin' all alone in your room
Thinking that the world's let you down
All you ever wanted to do
is trust Someone to always be around
You've had a lot of lessons to learn from
Some of them hit you so hard
And I keep believing that someday you'll see
You don't have to be alone
There's somebody out there
somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
somebody to hold you
When worries control you
I'd give anything if only you knew it was me
I've been watching you go through
All of these things for a while
There's gotta be a way to bring you back
Cause it´s worth it when you smile
It doesn't have to hurt you forever
It doesn't have to last too long
And if you're wondering where to turn to
I hope that you'll know
There's somebody out there
somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
somebody to hold you
When worries control you
I'd give anything if only you knew it was me
I wanna be there when you're in need
I would never be long if you were waiting
When you gonna see
If you could only see
There's somebody out there
somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
somebody to hold you
When worries control you
I'd give anything if only you knew it was me
I'd give anything for you
Anything at all
I think it's time that you knew it was me
Thinking that the world's let you down
All you ever wanted to do
is trust Someone to always be around
You've had a lot of lessons to learn from
Some of them hit you so hard
And I keep believing that someday you'll see
You don't have to be alone
There's somebody out there
somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
somebody to hold you
When worries control you
I'd give anything if only you knew it was me
I've been watching you go through
All of these things for a while
There's gotta be a way to bring you back
Cause it´s worth it when you smile
It doesn't have to hurt you forever
It doesn't have to last too long
And if you're wondering where to turn to
I hope that you'll know
There's somebody out there
somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
somebody to hold you
When worries control you
I'd give anything if only you knew it was me
I wanna be there when you're in need
I would never be long if you were waiting
When you gonna see
If you could only see
There's somebody out there
somebody somewhere
To show you the tenderness you need
somebody to hold you
When worries control you
I'd give anything if only you knew it was me
I'd give anything for you
Anything at all
I think it's time that you knew it was me

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.

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.
I LOVE this song. To me, it kinda relates to Taylor Swift's song You Belong With Me in some way. But this song can seriously describe my life. It really feels weird to be in love with one of your best friends... espicially when they are to blind to see it, and/or don't feel the same way. It sucks!
This is a very nice song, and while it can be construed as a love song, it's not inherently relationship-centered.
This song talks about someone who has been hurt, and is being reminded there is "somebody out there" that will always be around for them in their time of need; to show them love and understanding in times where they feel like they are in the dark, and that it can be a family member or a best friend, and that they should know it.
Awe this guy's cute!
