We’ll say goodbye and then we’ll leave it at that
And I don’t want to hurt you more than I already have
And all the words we don’t say come out
And cause all the pain that we were trying to miss.
And all the things inside that we had tried to hide could be to blame for all of this.

And don’t say that tomorrow will never come.
It’s supposedly only one day away.
Just as far as the breath that you take from me.
In your ears, I softly whisper sweet nothings
And tell you all of the things I wish that we could have been
And all of the things I still wish we could be.

I never meant to push you away
And I should have said all the things that my heart said to say
That now become all the words that cause all of the hurt that we were trying to miss.
And all the feelings inside that we had all tried to hide could be to blame for all of this.

And don’t say that tomorrow will never come.
It’s supposedly only one day away.
Just as far as the breath that you take from me.
In your ears, I softly whisper sweet nothings
And tell you all of the things I wish that we could have been
And all of the things I still wish we could be.

And as you walk away you take the hope of a brand new day.
And all of the secrets that you held.
And you tell me tomorrow will never come.
It’s forever and always one day away.
So close, but yet too far out of reach.

In your ears, I softly wasted sweet nothings
And tell you all of the things I wish that we could have been,
And all of the things that we could never be.
I’ll say goodbye and then I’ll leave it at that.
And I don’t want to hurt you more that I already have.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. 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.
