This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Heartfelt conversations we had every single night, lying in bed together,
So why would there ever be a breakdown in communication,
And I'm just wondering was that the warm and fuzzy feeling
Those good old days seem like so long ago
I thought you cared about me then, but now I don't know
Was there ever really love at all in your heart
Was there ever really love at all
Did you ever love me
I wanna go back, way back to the beginning when we could rely on each other
Oh, I felt like a goddess floating on a cloud. why'd you have to bring me down
With all this pain and disappointment, confused and bitter, brokenhearted
With all the mysteries and my love memories
Those good old days seem like so long ago
I thought you cared about me then, but now I don't know
Was there ever really love at all in your heart
Was there ever really love at all
Did you ever love me
I painted this perfect picture of you and me in my head
I sacrificed my mind, body, and soul. you showed me you didn't care
Now did you ever stop and think about how you made my life a living hell
It's so hard believing that you would treat me like this
Now I'm questioning over and overad lib:
Did you ever love me? did you ever love me?
Tell me baby, baby, baby, baby
Was there, was there ever really love?
Was there ever love at all?
Did you ever love me?
I need an answer cause once this problem's solved
I can finally resolve and get over you
I need an answer cause once this problem's solved
I can move on, oh yes
Did you ever love me?
So why would there ever be a breakdown in communication,
And I'm just wondering was that the warm and fuzzy feeling
Those good old days seem like so long ago
I thought you cared about me then, but now I don't know
Was there ever really love at all in your heart
Was there ever really love at all
Did you ever love me
I wanna go back, way back to the beginning when we could rely on each other
Oh, I felt like a goddess floating on a cloud. why'd you have to bring me down
With all this pain and disappointment, confused and bitter, brokenhearted
With all the mysteries and my love memories
Those good old days seem like so long ago
I thought you cared about me then, but now I don't know
Was there ever really love at all in your heart
Was there ever really love at all
Did you ever love me

I can finally resolve and get over you
I need an answer cause once this problem's solved

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.
