I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Remember all those fights we had
Maybe they meant nothing to you
Or were you looking for some action
Those things I never understood
How many times did you lie to me
How many times did you say
It's gonna get better that's for sure my love I promise
Babe I'll be alright now any day
But it was without love
Non no, no without love
Without love
No, no, no without love
When you told me babe it's over now
I simply did not know what to do
For you it was an easy thing
But I just stood there like a fool
Soon you started calling in the evenings
Your voice was spilling over with regrets
You said you wanted us to be together
That all sad memories we should forget
But you said it without love
No, no, no without love
Without love
No, no, no without love
Without love
No, no, no without love
Without love
Oh no, no, oh without love
Oh, you said it without love
No, no, no without love
Oh, without love
No, no, no without love
You said it without love
No, no, no without love
Without love
No, no, no without love
Without love
No, no, no without love
Mmm mmm
No, no, no without love
Maybe they meant nothing to you
Or were you looking for some action
Those things I never understood
How many times did you lie to me
How many times did you say
It's gonna get better that's for sure my love I promise
Babe I'll be alright now any day
But it was without love
Non no, no without love
Without love
No, no, no without love
When you told me babe it's over now
I simply did not know what to do
For you it was an easy thing
But I just stood there like a fool
Soon you started calling in the evenings
Your voice was spilling over with regrets
You said you wanted us to be together
That all sad memories we should forget
But you said it without love
No, no, no without love
Without love
No, no, no without love
Without love
No, no, no without love
Without love
Oh no, no, oh without love
Oh, you said it without love
No, no, no without love
Oh, without love
No, no, no without love
You said it without love
No, no, no without love
Without love
No, no, no without love
Without love
No, no, no without love
Mmm mmm
No, no, no without love

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.
