This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
What became of everyone I used to know?
Where did our respectable convictions go?
Your words don't match the story that your actions show
What do I know?
I'm sure you can't help but remembering
I thought that you'd be the one not to forget
Remembering's not helping you yet
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop when you're away
Maybe I can see you on the holidays
You're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
But I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays
The evidence presents itself accusingly
Your absence speaking everything you think of me
Now that I am faced with opportunity
You're not remembering
I'm not asking you anyway
And even if you ever could cave in
I wouldn't know where to begin
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop when you're away
Maybe I can see you on the holidays
You're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays, holidays
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop when you're away
I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays, holidays
Where did our respectable convictions go?
Your words don't match the story that your actions show
What do I know?
I'm sure you can't help but remembering
I thought that you'd be the one not to forget
Remembering's not helping you yet
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop when you're away
Maybe I can see you on the holidays
You're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
But I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays
The evidence presents itself accusingly
Your absence speaking everything you think of me
Now that I am faced with opportunity
You're not remembering
I'm not asking you anyway
And even if you ever could cave in
I wouldn't know where to begin
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop when you're away
Maybe I can see you on the holidays
You're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays, holidays
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop when you're away
I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays, holidays

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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'm not sure why, but i seem to get the feeling that (for some unexplained reason) it might be about an adult or someone in the family that's leaving or something... like a father who runs out. but the song itself, if you disregaured the lyrics, sounds pretty upbeat to be a sad, tragic song!
