It's not that you might leave me lonely
I know I could cope if your heart became a ghost
I know what to do when I'm on my own
It's the not knowing, that hurts, the most

It's not that if you told me you met someone better
Or if you had to break a promise, break an oath
If you prefer to feel some other's touch
It's the not knowing, that hurts, the most

In your silence, I sense a thousand words
Your eyes are sad but you still smile
You're right beside me, but are you even here

It's the not knowing, that hurts, the most
It's the not knowing, that hurts, the most

I'm sure you meant all that you said, at the time
I believe you can't be made of stone
We both know it's OK to change your mind
It's just the not knowing, that hurts, the most

In your silence, I sense a thousand words
Your eyes are sad but you still smile
You're right beside me, but are you even here

It's just the not knowing, that hurts, the most

I can tell, your head is somewhere else
I can read the signs that I need help
I can take your truth, tell me
Tell me what I know
Don't be a coward boy
Let me free just, let me go

We haven't said it but I know it
So hold me one last time before you go
You gave me so much to remember, baby
It was just the not knowing, that hurt the most

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.

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.
