We wrote this story down with the turn of each page
We alter the way that our ending unfolds in the end

Does it really make a difference
And did you even care
That we were torn at the seams?

But did you really find a change?
The history we made
That was torn between the pages of our lives
I can't stand another night

So go on pretending
That you'll come back to me
(come back to me!)

If you thought this was easy
Then why's it so hard for you to leave me?
You slammed the door in my face
We're broken
It's clear as day to see

If you thought this was easy
Just let me know
Cause you don't need me
Let me waste my time on someone else

A bitter misconception
To learning foolish lessons
If you ever feel alone
Just pick up your phone

Now I'm waiting on the other end
Of an empty dial tone
This is the final time I'm
Left behind with
No one left to hold

So go on pretending
That you'll come back to me
(come back to me!)

If you thought this was easy
Then why's it so hard for you to leave me?
You slammed the door in my face
We're broken
It's clear as day to see

If you thought this was easy
Just let me know
Cause you don't need me
Let me waste my time on someone else

She dotted every "i"
And crossed every "t"
So perfectly
In her last letter to me

It's like a bad dream
I'll hold it all in and start again
Even though it's too late to walk away

If you thought this was easy
Then why's it so hard for you to leave me?
You slammed the door in my face
We're broken
It's clear as day to see

If you thought this was easy
Just let me know
Cause you don't need me
Let me waste my time on someone else

If you though this was easy
(you always seem to hold it over my head)
If you though this was easy
(you always seem to hold it over my head)
(if you thought this was easy)

Just let me know
Cause you don't need me
Let me waste my time on someone else

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
