I am not to blame
I was a little girl
I am still ashamed in a way
But you never said
You were just a little girl
You can always call my name
All for love
So you said
Out of love
So I fell
Things you never said
I was just a little girl
Were you scared or ashamed
Then you took away
My little place in the world
Where I would play
All this time
You will never say
I was just a little girl
Ever again

    i think the interpretation of a girl being molested is too obvious. i think the song has more to offer.

    the lines "you never said / you were just a little girl" in combination with "i am not to blame / i was just a little girl" could imply that something happened between two people, where one side (or maybe both) acted immaturely or at least felt that way. the people don't necessarily have to be a male and a female, since the phrase of "little girl" could just imply a stereotypical mental state of insecurity, naivety or something like that. these afformentioned actions then lead to alienation in one part as symbolized in the lines "you took away / my little place in the world"

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
