And how does it feel
To be the name that's on the page
To know that you've joined the rank
Of all of the people I hate

And how does it feel
To be the one that's center stage
To know that your just a face
That started this horrible game

I hear you saying that it hurts so much
You never really thought it through
I'm tying nooses and you know this ones for you

Well this is my song
Saying thanks for nothing
And these are my hopes
Hope they gave you something
And that was my world
Being gone and forgotten
And that was my girl
And she was the best one

You were a friend
To the point of a brother
And we had a dream
That we had built on each other
The moment was scarred
By this flame is forgotten
That was my girl
And she was the best one in the world

And how does it feel
To know you live your life afraid
To know that you choke on shame
For all of the lies that you'll say
How it stopped at a kiss
let's all hit rewind and repeat
let's go back to the start and see
Just how many drinks that it took
For you to forget me and

I hear you saying that it hurts so much
You never really thought it through
I'm tying nooses and you know this ones for you

Well this is my song
Saying thanks for nothing
And these are my hopes
Hope they gave you something
And that was my world
Being gone and forgotten
And that was my girl
And she was the best one

You were a friend
To the point of a brother
And we had a dream
That we had built on each other
The moment was scarred
By this flame is forgotten
That was my girl
And she was the best one in the world

Hh my god, in the world (Woah ah oh)
I hear you saying that it hurts so much
You never really thought it through
I'm tying nooses and you know this ones for you.

And this is my song
Saying thanks for nothing
And these are my hopes
Hope they gave you something
And that was my world
Being gone and forgotten
And that was my girl
And she was the best one

You were a friend
To the point of a brother
And we had a dream
That we had built on each other
The moment was scarred
By this flame is forgotten
That was my girl
And she was the best one in the world

    I think it's still and ridiculous that people are still going on about Jason and Mayday. I'm pretty sure that they're over it. If not, drive to Tallahassee and ask them and stop speculating.

    Did no one think that this could possibly have anything to do with Caity?

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“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.
