The song "Fortnight" by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word "fortnight" shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Santa, make him love me
Santa, just help me
Tell me I'll be loved
I need a lover to call my mine
I adore him
Can't ignore him
Always on my mind
Don't you know the man's so fine
I've been good
I've behaved like I should
I've done all I could
Whatever he wants from me
Whatever he needs I'll be
Just set him beneath my tree
He's my Christmas fantasy
And that's all I need
I'm begging you, Santa please
Slide him down my chimney
He's my Christmas fantasy
Santa, my one wish
Top of my list
Is our first Christmas kiss
Is something that I can't resist
Santa, maybe
I'll be his baby
I've got to make him mine
There's nothing like a love divine
And I've been good
I've behaved like I should
Santa, if you would
Whatever he wants from me
Whatever he needs I'll be
Just set him beneath my tree
He's my Christmas fantasy
And that's all I need
I'm begging you, Santa please
Slide him down my chimney
He's my Christmas fantasy
Whatever he wants from me
Whatever he needs I'll be
Just set him beneath my tree
He's my Christmas fantasy
And that's all I need
I'm begging you, Santa please
Slide him down my chimney
He's my Christmas fantasy
I love him, yes I do
Yeah I'm begging, begging you
Send him all to me
Please
Santa, can I, Santa, can I have a man?
Will you understand?
Santa, just help me
Tell me I'll be loved
I need a lover to call my mine
I adore him
Can't ignore him
Always on my mind
Don't you know the man's so fine
I've been good
I've behaved like I should
I've done all I could
Whatever he wants from me
Whatever he needs I'll be
Just set him beneath my tree
He's my Christmas fantasy
And that's all I need
I'm begging you, Santa please
Slide him down my chimney
He's my Christmas fantasy
Santa, my one wish
Top of my list
Is our first Christmas kiss
Is something that I can't resist
Santa, maybe
I'll be his baby
I've got to make him mine
There's nothing like a love divine
And I've been good
I've behaved like I should
Santa, if you would
Whatever he wants from me
Whatever he needs I'll be
Just set him beneath my tree
He's my Christmas fantasy
And that's all I need
I'm begging you, Santa please
Slide him down my chimney
He's my Christmas fantasy
Whatever he wants from me
Whatever he needs I'll be
Just set him beneath my tree
He's my Christmas fantasy
And that's all I need
I'm begging you, Santa please
Slide him down my chimney
He's my Christmas fantasy
I love him, yes I do
Yeah I'm begging, begging you
Send him all to me
Please
Santa, can I, Santa, can I have a man?

@[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.

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
