Tangled in the webs that she weaves
Dangling in disbelief, trapped i can't breath
She's the one that left me
Stranded feelin' empty
Now I'm all alone readin the letters that she sent me

Tired of playing games
Tired of being in last place
I move too fast pace, who are you to judge
If only you could love the way you hate me, everythings so shaky
Broken, lost, crushed, all the above
Too many mistakes, too many bad breaks and bad luck
Too many lies and closed eyes, now I'm stuck in a bad rut
You said you'd be committed from the beginning to the end
I can't believe you said we're better off just being friends

I can't believe this
You can just walk away
i can't believe this
each and every other day
I can't believe this
Now my mind is blown
I can't believe
That I am all alone

Chorus:
EYES, into a place that I take you
WIDE, you see I just can't replace you
SHUT, and now my heart breaks in two
Follow, follow, Eyes Wide Shut

You thought you left my empty handed, stranded and broken hearted
Mistreated and cheated so take it back to where we started
To the first time we met and the first time we kissed
Together forever, well what have I missed
If only you could see just how I feel and what you mean to me
I never thought that you could walk away so easily
You said you needed space, now you're out hanging with him
You said we can't be lovers so I know we can't be friends

I can't believe this
You can just walk away
I can't believe this
Each and every other day
I can't believe this
Now my mind is blown
I can't believe
That I am all alone

Chorus(2X)

Just the other day
I looked at her, she looked at me and then she walked away
'Cause I never really understood why
She could pass me by without giving us another try
So tell me what you're looking for
'Cause I don't know no more
All I know is that I feel just like my hearts been torn
And I thought I was more than just a friend
And now you're leaving me in the very end
And my vision is a blur
All I really know is that I loved her, I loved her

I can't believe this
You can just walk away
I can't believe this
Each and every other day
I can't believe this
Now my mind is blown
I can't believe
That I am all alone

Chorus(2X)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
