Please don't come around talking 'bout that you love me
'Cause that love just ain't for me
I don't wanna hear that you adore me
And I know that all you're doing is running your mind games
Don't you know that game repeats game?
So your best bet is to be straight with me

So you say you wanna talk, let's talk
If you won't talk, I'll walk
Yeah, it's like that
I got a new man, he's waitin' out back
Now what, whatcha think about that?
Now when I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically I'm through with you
What you wanna say?
Had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're begging me to stay

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

Please don't come around talking 'bout how you changed
How you said goodbye to what's-her-name
All it sounds like to me is new game
And I was right when I thought I'd be much better off without you
Had to get myself from 'round you
'Cause my life was all about you

So you say you wanna talk, I don't
Say you wanna change, I won't
Yeah, it's like that
Had your chance, won't take you back
Now what, whatcha think about that?
And when I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically I'm through with you
What you wanna say?
I had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're begging me to stay

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

Don't you wish you could turn the hands of time?
Don't you wish that you still were mine?
Don't you wish I'd take you back?
Don't you wish that things were simple like that? Oh
Didn't miss a good thing 'til it's gone
But I knew it wouldn't be long
'Til you came running back
Missing my love, there you go

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

So there you go, there you go

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”

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
