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"

Elect of God, Mighty God
Everliving God, Earth's Rightul Ruler
Blessed be the man that walk'eth not
In the counsel of the ungodly
Nor stand'eth in the ways of sinners
Nor sitt'eth in the seat of the scornful
For I delight is in the law of the Lord God, Selassie I
In his laws do I meditate day and night
Therefore I must be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water
And bring'eth forth fruit in due season
I locks also shall not wither
And whatsoever I do'eth shall prosper
The weak heart are not so, oh no!
They are like the chaff that the wind drive'th away
Therefore no weak heart shall stand in the judgment
Nor no sinners in the congregation of the righteous
For the Lord God so high
That he knoweth the way of the righteous
And know that the way of the weak heart
Shall crumble, paralyze and burn
Jah Rastafari!
But he delight in earthquake, brimstone and fiyah
To kill, crum
Jah! Mighty God! Everliving God!
And do away with all weakheart
Conception to my creation continually
And let our righteousness cover this earth
As the waters cover the sea Isaiah 11:9
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,
As the waters cover the sea.
He reigns from that Iwa until this Iwa
Hailful I, so high and so mighty
Jah Rasafari!
I am the Earth Rightful Ruler

“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.
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.
