Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

You say
You say you never met him
But won't go back and tell 'em 'cause you playing two ways
Why did you say forever and then you change your weather?
Why you staying with me?
Fake when you around me
I usually back watching while I'm drownin'
Put me back together how you found me, ooh
(Look what you did to me) oh
You're showing no remorse
Just let it take it's course
Clearly, I see
You don't love me no more
(Hey) this is the
It's getting too late to talk about it, baby (oh)
It's fading, we lost touch
This is the (we lost touch)
This situation feeling shady, so gone, so off
This is the (Heartbreak Hotel)
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) oh
(This is the Heartbreak, oh, yeah)
You knew you wasn't ready, baby
Why not be honest?
All I really want is some more of your time
Wish I could read your mind, but instead you lie
What are you doing with me? (What are you doing with me?)
Oh-oh, what you do with me?
You like to say you came with me
Then turn to point the blame like I'm wrong
I get the picture frame in me (oh)
Been sleeping with the enemy, no
Don't appreciate that energy, yeah
You're showing no remorse
Just let it take it's course
Clearly, I see you don't love me no more, yeah
This is the
It's getting too late to talk about it, baby (oh)
It's fading, we lots touch (we lost touch, baby)
This is the
This situation feeling shady, so gone, so off
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel)
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) hey, oh, oh
(This is the heartbreak)
You knew you wasn't ready, baby
Why not be honest?
All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead, you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
What'd you do to me? (oh, baby)
Look what you did to me (you don't love me no more, ooh)
I thought that you were someone who would do me right (this is the hurt)
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry (the heartbreak)
What you'd do to me?
(Why'd you do it?) can't talk what you did to me
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) all I really wanted was some of your time, oh, baby
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) instead, you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) what'd you do to me? Ooh, all I really wanted, baby

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

@[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 love this song, but in a way i don't because my b/f did that to me!!!!!!
great sound!!!
this song reminds me of my ex...so much. i sang it to him on the phone right b4 i broke up with him.
