The day we met, my life was changed
I always heard that love was strange
And painful, painful
One night you slept upon your side
Tangled in white, you looked just like
An angel, an angel

So why did you fly away?
I've been dying a little death
Since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
You must forget and forgive to be free

Down by the water, dressed in black
I swore revenge to get you back
Hateful, hateful
I made my camp upon the hill
Drank whiskey from the secret still
Blameful, blameful

So why did you fly away?
I've been dying a little death
Since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
You must forget and forgive to be free

And I never could admit the part I had in it
So this is what I get, my friend

Drunk in a field of scarlet snow
I reconciled with your ghost
In April, in April
I stood before the hypocrite
There in the mirror, brightly lit
Shameful, shameful

Now I know why you ran away
And I've been dying a little death
Since that very day
I used to laugh when you told me
You must forget and forgive
You must forgive just to live
You must forget and forgive to be free

    Because you are not meant for me, you are meant for your family. You are wrong, go home. And she is the one that must forgive you for what you have done to her you’ve got it all wrong that is why you are still suffering. The other one who has done wrong not her and not your children. Until you fully reconcile that you have caused great pain on your own family you will be miserable your entire rest of your life. You do not belong to me if you belong to them in deep down you know this so move along

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“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.
