Don't come to me saying that you cared,
That I was the one who was never there.
Don't come with your lies in the air;
You keep blaming me and it ain't fair.
Don't come telling me that you're worried:
That I'll be hurting if you're gone.
Don't come to me saying that you're sorry;
Your words mean nothing,
Your words mean nothing at all,
Whoa. Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh,
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ho-whoa-oh-oh,
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh,
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ho-whoa-oh-oh.

You said that we were gonna be together
Forever and ever,
And now I'm lying on the floor,
With my broken heart and all.
Oh-oh, oh-oh...; oh-oh, oh-oh.
You said that I was the one of your dreams,
That your heart belonged to me.
Now I believe I must move on,
Because I think you won't come home,
Come home.

Oh, I know I will survive,
Even if you're not by my side.
Think this time I'll say goodbye.
(Leave it.)

Don't come to me saying that you cared,
That I was the one who was never there.
Don't come with your lies in the air,
You keep blaming me and it ain't fair.
Don't come telling me that you worried,
That I'll be hurting if you're gone.
Don't come to me saying that you're sorry,
Your words mean nothing,
Your words mean nothing at all.
Whoa. Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh,
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ho-whoa-oh-oh,
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh,
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ho-whoa-oh-oh.

You said that we were perfect for each other,
That I was like no other;
I never knew this was a game,
You win, I'd also be replaced.
Oh-oh, oh-oh...; oh-oh, oh-oh.
You said that you were gonna keep your promise
Of loving me always.
But now I know that it ain't true,
And I'm so glad that I left you, left you.

Oh, I know I will survive,
Even if you're not by my side.
Think this time I'll say goodbye.

But don't come to me saying that you cared,
That I was the one who was never there.
Don't come with your lies in the air,
You keep blaming me and it ain't fair.
Don't come telling me that you worried,
That I'll be hurting if you're gone.
Don't come to me saying that you're sorry,
Your words mean nothing,
Your words mean nothing at all.

Whoa. Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh,
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ho-whoa-oh-oh.

Whoa.
[Repeat, chained, 5 times:]
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh,
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ho-whoa-oh-oh.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
