I'll be the bad guy,
I'll take the black eye,
When I walk out,
You can slam the door,
I'll be the S O B,
If that's what you need from me,
So you don't have to love me anymore

When you and our friends talk,
Make it all my fault,
Tell 'em I'm rotten to the core,
I'll let it all slide,
Get 'em all on your side,
So you don't have to love me anymore

I will keep,
All those memories, of the good times
Yeah, there were some good times
So when you think,
Of you and me,
They won't even cross your mind

If the wine you're drinkin',
Leads you to thinkin',
That you want what we had before,
Girl you can call me,
I'll let it ring and ring,
So you don't have to love me anymore

Yeah, I will keep,
All those memories of the good times
Yeah, they were some good times
So when you think,
Of you and me,
They won't even cross your mind

If you need me to make you cry,
I don't want to but I'll try,
So you don't have to love me anymore

    My Opinion

    Songs definitely about a relationship where maybe his wife is putting him down all the time to hurt him, mentally abusing him to the point where he is fed up with her and can't take it anymore. There are many people who go through this, like my wife would always like to bring up the past and would like to try to make me feel guilty about something that happened 5 years ago she would enjoy bringing it up because she new that it would hurt me. She has done this for so long that now I am willing to give it all up the marriage the family and everything I own just so she could leave me alone and I could finally live in peace. She would always talk about me with friends and family so none of them would like me who want a relationship like that? But yeah she enjoyed sympathetic attention and always want everyone to feel sorry for her.

    So if you are always trying to hurt your significant other don't be surprised if they give up and leave or do something suicidal because of your mental abusive relationship.

    I'll be the bad guy, I'll take the black eye, When I walk out, You can slam the door, I'll be the S O B, If that's what you need from me, So you don't have to love me anymore

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
