@[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.

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.
To me this song seems to be about despair. "lose some sleep and say you tried" meaning a half-assed effort for trying to change, (yourself, the world, society, etc..) and demonstrating how "losing sleep" and worrying about something gives us just enough of a good conscience so that we can relieve ourselves of guilt without really doing anything to change it. We consider ourselves to be "good people" because we worried about something, which means that we care, which is more than most people do, so we are better than the rest of society, so now we can sleep easy knowing that we are better/good.
