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"
Sometimes I feel so alone baby girl
I call your heart but there's no one at home
Taking a toll on my pride
I'm reaching out but there's no one inside
You know it doesn't feel right
When I look in your eyes
I know love is blind but the heart doesn't lie
I'll ask one more time
Maybe this time you'll try
So tell me girl what's deep in your heart
Girl I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
Girl I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
I spend like all of my day, baby
Trying to sense out just how things got this way
I thought that we were in love
But I swear right now I don't know what you want, babe
I make sure that I give you quality time
But lately I feel you're not home by design
But still I'm gonna try to give you the love of my life
In hopes that you, that you will open up your heart, baby
Girl I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
Girl I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
Sometimes I'm not sure that
That I'm all you got
Sometimes I'm not sure you love me or not, baby
Just one thing that I'm certain of
Girl I care for you
And the one thing that I want is that you care for me too
Girl I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
Girl I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,baby, babe, yeah
Yeah, oh yeah, ooooh
I care for you, babe
I call your heart but there's no one at home
Taking a toll on my pride
I'm reaching out but there's no one inside
You know it doesn't feel right
When I look in your eyes
I know love is blind but the heart doesn't lie
I'll ask one more time
Maybe this time you'll try
So tell me girl what's deep in your heart
Girl I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
Girl I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
I spend like all of my day, baby
Trying to sense out just how things got this way
I thought that we were in love
But I swear right now I don't know what you want, babe
I make sure that I give you quality time
But lately I feel you're not home by design
But still I'm gonna try to give you the love of my life
In hopes that you, that you will open up your heart, baby
Girl I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
Girl I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
Sometimes I'm not sure that
That I'm all you got
Sometimes I'm not sure you love me or not, baby
Just one thing that I'm certain of
Girl I care for you
And the one thing that I want is that you care for me too
Girl I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
Girl I care about you
I'm there for you
So why don't you care for me
Like I care about you
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,baby, babe, yeah
Yeah, oh yeah, ooooh
I care for you, babe

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“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.
