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"
(Craig Owens)
I never knew what i would do
if anybody tried to take you away
and your beautiful boy
wont wait for you because he's busy
with the stars and the fame
(Jonny Craig)
and I dont know why I breathe
it's taking too long for me
can we speed up the process please?
but you'll be the one I need
(Vic Fuentes)
I need somebody (somebody)
somebody crazy enough to tell me
I will love you till we,
till we are buried
our bodies (our bodies)
our bodies, buried close together
cemetery weather
in the cemetery weather
(Jonny Craig)
I never knew what i would do
if anybody tried to speak your name,
I would tear down their house
and i'd burn my way around
the brightest memory of your face
'cause I would do anything (anything, anything)
this love is a selfish thing
and i'll feed off the wounds that bleed
and tear you away from me.
(Vic Fuentes)
I need somebody (somebody)
somebody crazy enough to tell me
I will love you till we,
till we are buried
our bodies (our bodies)
our bodies, buried close together
cemetery weather
in the cemetery weather
Violent delight
We'll live as if we died
Violent delight
Live as if we died
My violent delight
Live as if we died
My violent delight
Live as if we died
My violent delight, violent delight
(Jonny Craig)
so come, come on
I won't leave without you
(Vic Fuentes)
If we die then we die and ill sing this
buried with you
Violent delight
Live as if we die
My violent delight, violent delight
(Vic Fuentes)
I need somebody (somebody)
somebody crazy enough to tell me
I will love you till we,
I love you till we are buried
our bodies (our bodies)
our bodies buried close together
cemetery weather
in the cemetery weather

@[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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I hear a strong S sound and there are no s in "tear down" I cant hear him sing "i would tear down their house" i hear "i would set up their house" like he would set up their house on fire and burn his way around.
Just a thought.
Thats just how Jonny Craig sings
