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"
Some people may be saying that I'm overweight
But I think that my big body is looking great
I used to diet and diet, it don't change a thing
Everyone must accept that I won't be thin
Well it's the way I want to be
'Cause I'm someone that everybody can see
Well I always stand out in a crowd
I'm the heaviest boy you've seen around
[Chorus]
Because I'm fat
I'm fat and proud
I'm fat and proud and this is how the big boys sound
Because I'm fat
I'm fat and proud
I'm fat and proud and I'm sure you've seen my butt around
Because I'm fat
I'm fat and proud
I'm fat and proud and the heaviest boy you've found
Because I'm fat
I'm fat and proud
I'm fat and proud and this is how the big boys sound
I'm like the ozone hover over your homeâ?¦
I would hate to be one of those skinny runts
You can't eat off your stomach or finish your lunch
Well you got no rhythm; well you got no groove
Well you got no blubber that you can move
Well your bones stick out and your nose sticks out
There are fourteen ribs on your cage that I can count
People always saying: â??You don't eat enoughâ??
But I'd snap you in half I gave you a hug
Well it doesn't really bug me much
'Cause I know that there's a lot of me that you can touch
Well the bigger the man is the bigger the tan
Kickin' it at the beach, lying on the sand
For all you car boys working on your suspension
Paying all that money for the up and down attention
Just  to put me in and take me out
Trust me you'll get that look from everyone about
As you see, I love my size
I just wish you could see me through my eyes
Then you'd realise that I hold the prize
For the biggest man you've seen alive
But I think that my big body is looking great
I used to diet and diet, it don't change a thing
Everyone must accept that I won't be thin
Well it's the way I want to be
'Cause I'm someone that everybody can see
Well I always stand out in a crowd
I'm the heaviest boy you've seen around
[Chorus]
Because I'm fat
I'm fat and proud
I'm fat and proud and this is how the big boys sound
Because I'm fat
I'm fat and proud
I'm fat and proud and I'm sure you've seen my butt around
Because I'm fat
I'm fat and proud
I'm fat and proud and the heaviest boy you've found
Because I'm fat
I'm fat and proud
I'm fat and proud and this is how the big boys sound
I'm like the ozone hover over your homeâ?¦
I would hate to be one of those skinny runts
You can't eat off your stomach or finish your lunch
Well you got no rhythm; well you got no groove
Well you got no blubber that you can move
Well your bones stick out and your nose sticks out
There are fourteen ribs on your cage that I can count
People always saying: â??You don't eat enoughâ??
But I'd snap you in half I gave you a hug
Well it doesn't really bug me much
'Cause I know that there's a lot of me that you can touch
Well the bigger the man is the bigger the tan
Kickin' it at the beach, lying on the sand
For all you car boys working on your suspension
Paying all that money for the up and down attention
Just  to put me in and take me out
Trust me you'll get that look from everyone about
As you see, I love my size
I just wish you could see me through my eyes
Then you'd realise that I hold the prize
For the biggest man you've seen alive

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

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.
