This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
She said 'get over me' and pushed me away
She found someone else and is here to stay
She said she doesn't want me in her life
She said she doesn't want me by her side
I see her as a vixen in disguise
I can't distinguish between the truth and her lies
I used to live here comfortably by her side
I feel the scales fell right from my eyes
Right from my eyes, right from my eyes
I don't understand why she left in such a haste
Why do these things leave always such a bitter taste?
Someday she'll cry for me like a cried for her
Someday she'll miss me like i still missing her
Now I see it as a blessing in disguise
I'm moving on and so far it made me wise
To be honest, she caught me by surprise
But i know the sun will always rise
Always rise, always rise
I'll will miss your smile but i miss mine even more
She managed to reap my soul
Like a puppeteer in control
Now i see her as a devil in disguise
Now i feel like I am drowning in her lies
Like a toxic waste, all history erased
Like a toxic waste, all history erased
She found someone else and is here to stay
She said she doesn't want me in her life
She said she doesn't want me by her side
I see her as a vixen in disguise
I can't distinguish between the truth and her lies
I used to live here comfortably by her side
I feel the scales fell right from my eyes
Right from my eyes, right from my eyes
I don't understand why she left in such a haste
Why do these things leave always such a bitter taste?
Someday she'll cry for me like a cried for her
Someday she'll miss me like i still missing her
Now I see it as a blessing in disguise
I'm moving on and so far it made me wise
To be honest, she caught me by surprise
But i know the sun will always rise
Always rise, always rise
I'll will miss your smile but i miss mine even more
She managed to reap my soul
Like a puppeteer in control
Now i see her as a devil in disguise
Now i feel like I am drowning in her lies
Like a toxic waste, all history erased
Like a toxic waste, all history erased

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
