The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
El tiempo ha sido dificil nena
Lejos de aqui yo admito que
Culpable soy en mi habitacion
Escucho a un niño llamarme
Prendo el televior
Para no pensar que mi corazon
Me llora
No quiero llorar, quiero llamar
No puedo seguir pensando, ya
Que no estas aqui en tu lugar
(En tu lugar)
Pero dime si es la verdad lo
Que imagina
Lagrimas llore, con tu partida
Yo seguire esperando
No quiero seguir llorando
Lagrimas llore, con tu partida
Yo seguire esperando
No quiero seguir llorando
No quiero que el niño
Te vea llorar
Porque cada lagrima
Es cada dia de mi ausencia
No quiero llorar, quiero llamar
No puedo seguir pensando, ya
Que no estas aqui en tu lugar
(En tu lugar)
Pero dime si es la verdad
Lo que imagine
Lagrimas llore, con tu partida
Yo seguire esperando
No quiero seguir llorando
Lagrimas llore, con tu partida
Yo seguire esperando
No quiero seguir llorando
Porque sera, que esto tubo que pasar
No quiero pensarlo, pero no puedo evitarlo
No estas a mi lado why me hare mucho dano
Why me encuentro en cuatro paredes
why sufro recordando la ausencia de tu presencia
Poco a poco me va matando
Why me siento que un mar, me voy llorando
Lagrimas llore
No quiero llorar, yo quiero llamar
Lagrimas llore, con tu partida
Yo seguire esperando
No quiero seguir llorando
Lagrimas llore, con tu partida
Yo seguire esperando
No quiero seguir llorando
My lovely lady, I wanna let know
That I love you, that I love, love you
My darling, I just want to be alright
I didn't mean to make you cry
I just wanna be alright
Lejos de aqui yo admito que
Culpable soy en mi habitacion
Escucho a un niño llamarme
Prendo el televior
Para no pensar que mi corazon
Me llora
No quiero llorar, quiero llamar
No puedo seguir pensando, ya
Que no estas aqui en tu lugar
(En tu lugar)
Pero dime si es la verdad lo
Que imagina
Lagrimas llore, con tu partida
Yo seguire esperando
No quiero seguir llorando
Lagrimas llore, con tu partida
Yo seguire esperando
No quiero seguir llorando
No quiero que el niño
Te vea llorar
Porque cada lagrima
Es cada dia de mi ausencia
No quiero llorar, quiero llamar
No puedo seguir pensando, ya
Que no estas aqui en tu lugar
(En tu lugar)
Pero dime si es la verdad
Lo que imagine
Lagrimas llore, con tu partida
Yo seguire esperando
No quiero seguir llorando
Lagrimas llore, con tu partida
Yo seguire esperando
No quiero seguir llorando
Porque sera, que esto tubo que pasar
No quiero pensarlo, pero no puedo evitarlo
No estas a mi lado why me hare mucho dano
Why me encuentro en cuatro paredes
why sufro recordando la ausencia de tu presencia
Poco a poco me va matando
Why me siento que un mar, me voy llorando
Lagrimas llore
No quiero llorar, yo quiero llamar
Lagrimas llore, con tu partida
Yo seguire esperando
No quiero seguir llorando
Lagrimas llore, con tu partida
Yo seguire esperando
No quiero seguir llorando
My lovely lady, I wanna let know
That I love you, that I love, love you
My darling, I just want to be alright
I didn't mean to make you cry
I just wanna be alright

@[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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
