You won't catch me cryin' over you
I think I'm leavin' after all that I've been through.
Pardon me, if I love you endlessly,
But you've got wounds that I can't move.

I won't be not sleepin' over you.
If I'm sleepin' far away from you.
I know you think you need me.
But once you had and couldn't keep me.
Isn't this the same ground
We've been through?
You won't catch me cryin' over you.

No you won't catch me cryin' over you.
After all the things you put me through.
I need to be somewhere
With room to breathe.
I need a heart that don't need you.
You won't catch my cryin' over you.

You won't catch me cryin' over you.
After all this work you gave me to do.
Pardon me, if I love you endlessly,
But you've got wounds that I can't move.
And you won't catch me cryin' over you.
You won't catch me cryin'...
You won't catch me cryin'...
You won't catch me cryin' over you.

    Beautiful song about loving somebody who, through whatever trials and obstacles, is simply not able to love back. Despite their history. Despite his genuine feelings. She has been too damaged by a past & cannot even see the love he still has to offer her

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

“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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
