@[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.
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah yeah
Yeah-yeah
Oh-ooh
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way
Now I have to take my love away
You see, I could've made it easy
For you to become a part of me
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way
Now I have to take my love away
You see, I could've made it easy
For you to become a part of me
You couldn't even say I'm sorry
For all the hurt and pain you caused me
But now, I am supposed to give my deepest sympathy?
Oh yeah, you see, I had enough of cryin'
And I'm tired of all the lyin'
See, I refused to let you take advantage of me, baby
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (ooh-ooh)
Now I have to take my love away (my love away)
You see, I could've made it easy (made it easy)
For you to become a part of me (oh-ooh oh)
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (it's a shame)
Now I have to take my love away (my love away)
You see, I could've made it easy (oh-ooh oh yeah)
For you to become a part of me
Never took the time to think of
All the love that we have shared
I realize that most of the time
You were just not there, oh-ooh
It was hard for me to see when
When your love was blindin' me
But now I know I have to let you
Go your separate way
'Cause things will never be the same
'Cause baby, baby, you did me wrong
It hurt so bad, I can't move on
Was it worth all the pain?
'Cause baby, baby, you've got to pay
You've gotta learn the hard way
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (it's a shame)
Now I have to take my love away (ooh, ooh-ooh)
You see, I could've made it easy (made it easy)
For you to become a part of me (oh)
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (it's a shame)
Now I have to take my love away (oh, oh oh)
You see, I could've made it easy (oh)
For you to become a part of me (ooh-ooh)
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (learn the hard way)
Now I have to take my love away (take my love away)
You see, I could've made it easy (take my love away, 'cause it hurts so bad)
For you to become a part of me (it's a shame)
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (it's a shame, yeah-yeah)
Now I have to take my love away (take my love away)
You see, I could've made it easy (ooh, ooh-ooh)
For you to become a part of me
'Cause things will never be the same
'Cause baby, baby, you did me wrong
It hurt so bad, I can't move on
Was it worth all the pain?
'Cause baby, baby, you've got to pay
You've gotta learn the hard way
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way
Now I have to take my love away (my love away)
You see, I could've made it easy (I'm gone)
For you to become a part of me (so long)
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (shame you'll learn the hard way)
Now I have to take my love away (now I'm takin' my love away)
You see, I could've made it easy (made it easy)
For you to become a part of me (you did me wrong)
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (you told me lies)
Now I have to take my love away (treated me bad)
You see, I could've made it easy (all of the time)
For you to become a part of me
It's a shame you had to learn the hard way (ooh, the hard way)
Now I have to take my love away (take my love away)
You see, I could've made it easy (made it easy, babe)
For you to become a part of me
(Part of me, part of me,) part of me
Part of me, part of me, part of me, (part of me)

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.

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.
I agree Raeizzle it is amazing that noone has commented on this song.
I agree it def about when a guy has cheated on u and u have to get rid of him
