One day I fell asleep
And dreamt of something to keep
Opened up my dying mind
To see the things that I'd never find
Something true and beautiful
Was waiting there for me
In a dream where I believed
I'd find my way back home

Oh, I think you should know how it feels falling
Down and out alone when no one cares
And I think you should know how it feels when
The world buries your soul and you're still alive

Don't ask what you can tell
When I scratch myself to sleep
And don't try to wake me up
When I fall down, I bleed
And even though there is more to say
I've tried to steal myself away
I've taken all I can
I can help myself

Oh, I think you should know how it feels falling
Down and out alone when no one cares
I think you should know how it feels when
The world buries your soul and you're still alive

There must be someone out there
Who can hear me scream aloud
I know there must be someone who cares
Just enough to help me out
Tell me there is someone out there
I know you hear me now
I know there is someone who cares
So please just help me out

I know you hear me now
I know there is someone who cares
So please just help me out

    My Opinion

    I can't believe nobody commented on this beautiful song

    This song is about extreme feeling loneliness

    "I think you should know how it feels falling down and out alone when no one cares I think you should know how it feels when the world buries your soul and you're still alive"

    Those lines hurts a lot for me

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.
