[Verse 1]
I'm a baddie, but I got feelings too
I remember you had both of us skippin' school
We were so young, had niggas actin' a fool
You was cryin' out for help, I promise, I never knew
When I found out, I was feelin' wocky
You said that you love me 'cause I'm bougie and I'm cocky
Climbin' up the ranks on your own could get rocky
But I keep it pushin' knowin' that they'll never stop me

[Chorus]
Yeah, I know he want me, but he rather just lie (Lie)
If I tell him, "Jump," he gon' ask me, "How high?" (High)
And I know his fears, but he never met mine (Mine)
Never met mine, never, never met mine (Damn)
Yeah, I know he want me, but he rather just lie (Lie)
If I tell him, "Jump," he gon' ask me, "How high?" (High)
And I know his fears, but he never met mine (Mine)
Never met mine, never, never met mine

[Verse 2]
He like, "Na-na-na-na, I just want us to make up"
He like, "Na-na-na-na, like, how far can we take us?"
On my m-m-m-mind (Grrah), it's already made up
Missin' when we was laid up, I'm busy chasin' the paper (Grrah)
When I wanted Givenchy, remember I couldn't buy it
So then I linked up with RIOT, but first, we prayed to the Highest
And started gettin' them write-ups (Like), and then they crowned me the princess
So, I'm most grateful, your highness, and now we poppin' them ciders (Like)
Let me put you on to how a bad bitch think
And it's all tens when my bad bitch link
Wanna see me fall (Grrah) is a mad bitch kink
Let me get my strap, and I hit her like, "Bink"
She gon' catch what I'm throwin' (Grrah)
I see the snakes when I'm mowin'
And, yeah, they pop up like clonin'
So I just pop it like hoeing
Now, she on the floor (Like) when I'm kickin' the door
How you mad I do less (Damn), 'cause you gotta do more?

[Chorus]
Yeah, I know he want me (Grrah), but he rather just lie (Lie)
If I tell him, "Jump," he gon' ask me, "How high?" (High)
And I know his fears, but he never met mine (Mine)
Never met mine, never, never met mine (Damn)
Yeah, I know he want me, but he rather just lie (Lie)
If I tell him, "Jump," he gon' ask me, "How high?" (High)
And I know his fears, but he never met mine (Mine)
Never met mine, never, never met mine

[Outro]
Mine, met mine
Met mine
Met mine
Met mine
Met mine
Met mine
Met mine

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.

Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.

Another Love
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
