This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Before I begin, I would just like to say
That I’m sorry that these words are finding your ears far too late
I just never saw it coming and I didn’t know what to do
And now I wake up every morning to a world without you
Your empty chair’s not rocking
Anymore like it used to
But the stories that they tell
Would do more than bring life to you
They tell tales of your past, tales of your dreams
Tales of all your hopes and your memories
We look at pictures, laugh and cry
And wish that you would be right here by our side
I really miss you
But I will let you go
Just like you asked me to
Not too long ago
With your remaining breaths fading
I took your hand as you laid by me
You said “Miss me
But let me go”
I can see the footprints that you left for me
And I’ll do my best to follow them
You were so soft spoken so when you said something
Everyone was at attention
And I know this hurts so I won’t drag on
But I just really wanted to say
That I love you and I think about you all the time.
I swear I see your face at least once every day.
I really miss you
But I will let you go
Just like you asked me to
Not too long ago
With your remaining breaths fading
I took your hand as you laid by me
You said “Miss me
But let me go”
On your dying day I couldn’t be there
And I don’t know if it’s something you’ll ever forgive me for
But when the news came, I swear the whole world stopped
I just stared blankly into space and my jaw dropped
And I’m begging you for one day please come back
I don’t care if it’s only for one day just please come back.
I really miss you
But I’m never let you go
I know you wanted me to
But I can’t just let you go
I’m gonna hold on to that last breath forever
We’re gonna always be together
I’ll keep your voice in my ear
I’ll always keep you right here
With your remaining breaths fading
I took your hand as you laid by me
I do miss you
But I will let you go.
That I’m sorry that these words are finding your ears far too late
I just never saw it coming and I didn’t know what to do
And now I wake up every morning to a world without you
Your empty chair’s not rocking
Anymore like it used to
But the stories that they tell
Would do more than bring life to you
They tell tales of your past, tales of your dreams
Tales of all your hopes and your memories
We look at pictures, laugh and cry
And wish that you would be right here by our side
I really miss you
But I will let you go
Just like you asked me to
Not too long ago
With your remaining breaths fading
I took your hand as you laid by me
You said “Miss me
But let me go”
I can see the footprints that you left for me
And I’ll do my best to follow them
You were so soft spoken so when you said something
Everyone was at attention
And I know this hurts so I won’t drag on
But I just really wanted to say
That I love you and I think about you all the time.
I swear I see your face at least once every day.
I really miss you
But I will let you go
Just like you asked me to
Not too long ago
With your remaining breaths fading
I took your hand as you laid by me
You said “Miss me
But let me go”
On your dying day I couldn’t be there
And I don’t know if it’s something you’ll ever forgive me for
But when the news came, I swear the whole world stopped
I just stared blankly into space and my jaw dropped
And I’m begging you for one day please come back
I don’t care if it’s only for one day just please come back.
I really miss you
But I’m never let you go
I know you wanted me to
But I can’t just let you go
I’m gonna hold on to that last breath forever
We’re gonna always be together
I’ll keep your voice in my ear
I’ll always keep you right here
With your remaining breaths fading
I took your hand as you laid by me
I do miss you
But I will let you go.

“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
