she kisses everyone goodbye
and waves her middle finger high
they're never gonna mess with her again
drama queen at seventeen
and sleeping with the boys for free
she's got a reputation of being easy
every time they put her down she makes a fist and tears roll down
she packs her bags and plans to runaway
she's saying goodbye and leaving tonight
she's wasted all her lonely tear drops
she's saying goodbye and leaving tonight
she's used up all her lonely tear drops now
she thinks about herself and cares about no body else
because the only friends she has all put her down
I hate it when she's beautiful and even more when she's a fool
they talk behind her back when its her birthday
every time they put her down she makes a fist and tears roll down
she packs her bags and plans to runaway
every time she makes a friend the vicious cycle starts again
she's never ever ever looking back
(chorus)
she's saying goodbye, she's wasted all her lonely tear drops now
every time they put her down she makes a fist and tears roll down
she packs her bags and plans to runaway
and every time she makes a friend the viscous cycle starts again
she's never ever ever looking back
(chorus)

    This is a great song. I think it's about a girl and how hard her life is because everybody is mean to her and how she crys and wants to start over. Every Sugarcult song is good but this one's on top!!

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
