Lyrics:
I know it’s a bad idea
But how can I help myself
Been inside for most this year
And I thought a few drinks they might help
It’s been a while my dear
Dealing with the cards life dealt
I’m still holding back these tears
While my friends are somewhere else
I pictured this year a little bit different when it hit February
I step in the bar, it hit me so hard
Oh how can it be this heavy?
Every song reminds me you’re gone
And I feel the lump form in my throat
‘Coz I’m here alone
Just dancing with my eyes closed
‘Coz everywhere I look I still see you
Time is moving so slow
And I don’t know what else that I can do
So I’ll keep dancing with my eyes closed
So I’ll keep dancing with my
Delusion is here again
And I think you’ll come home soon
A word brings me right back in
Then it’s only me that’s in this room
I guess I could just pretend
The colours are more than blue
But I lost more than my friend
I can’t help but missing you
I pictured this month a little bit different no one is ever ready
And when it unfolds you get in a hole
Oh how can it be this heavy?
Everything changes, nothing’s the same
Except the truth is now you’re gone
And life just goes on
So I’m dancing with my eyes closed
‘Coz everywhere I look I still see you
Time is moving so slow
And I don’t know what else that I can do
So I’ll keep dancing with my eyes closed
So I’ll keep dancing with my eyes closed
Oh I’ll keep dancing with my
They’re shutting the bar
They’re cleaning the floor
And everyone is already home
But I’m on my own
Still dancing with my eyes closed
‘Coz everywhere I look I still see you
Time is moving so slow
And I don’t know what else that I can do
So I’ll keep dancing with my eyes closed
Oh I’ll keep dancing with my eyes closed
Oh I’ll keep dancing with my Music
Thanks for all the love guys x
First
Edit : thanks for the amazing song 🎵
We love you! ♥️🙌🏾
Second
Thank YOU for releasing music that shares your story and touches our hearts.❤ can’t wait to see you in DC in June
I heard this song so many times on the radio, and now it's the first time I'm listening to it on the Internet. Thank you for this awesome song, Ed !
One of the best songs I've EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!! keep up the good work Ed!!
Love this song! It expresses so many amazing emotions x
As someone who lost their love and best-friend I feel this song to my very core. Grief follows you around but it not an ugly thing, it is all the love taking a different form. It can be extremely heavy. Thank you for the perfect song ❤
Thank you for releasing these wonderful songs. ❤
It's impossible for Ed Sheeran to make a bad song 💛
This song sounds like old Ed Sheeran I liked
Linkin park New song fighting myself tomorrow
yes yes yes(cibili dop)
Unless he makes a song called “a bad song” 🤓
That Big Blue Monster that represents the emotion of grief! - What a beautiful song with an upbeat rhythm that captures perfectly what grief sometimes looks like when the hurt is bitter sweet and you're at the stage of acceptance and moving forward gracefully. Thank you Ed Sheeran
Thank you for your music. It makes me feel less lonely ❤
Thank you for all the good music, Ed! I'm happy to see that you're not giving in to the trend of making meaningless noise instead of actual music, like so many are doing today. Bought all your albums and will continue to do so 👍 Stay true to yourself and fans will always appreciate you for that!
😊
clip-share.net/video/9PfOCWslNYI/video.html polecam magda gessler
His music is mediocre at best
@Underworld his music is really good but repetitive
Love this song so much Ed on repeat can’t stop listening to it best song that you have out ❤️ x
As much as I love happy and poppy songs, sometimes I need an album that understands the struggles and challenges am facing in life and makes me feel less alone in it. Ed Sheeran has done it again
Agree. But remember you're not alone! We're all moving on the same earth, connected to the ground, breathing the same air. You're needed here!
Hah! I just read some nonsense critics saying that the album wasn't good. I just laughed.
Exactly!! Sometimes it helps to know your are not alone in your despair…this album does that at least for me
@Couber 😉😉😉😉🎤🎤😁😆👨
Love this
I love Ed Sheeran so much but when my fiancé passed away 5 years ago I couldn’t listen to him without crying. And now with this album I can finally listen and it’s happier tears. Crazy how you can learn to grow with the artist that perfectly describes your feelings.
My condolences, sweetheart, I'm so happy you're healing 💛
Te acompaño en el sentimiento. Qué duro debe haber sido. So sorry.
So so sorry. Time is a healer . Hope you're OK.
I feel bad for Ed sharin cause his friend passed away and I feel bad 😢😢😢
❤ 🙏
You never disappoint ❤❤❤❤❤
When I first heard just a portion of this song, at the initial listen, I thought it was just a routine break-up song, but after taking a closer look at the lyrics and looking up the backstory behind this (and discovering that this is actually about coping with death and grieving), it just hits completely different now. Just beautiful.
Has he lost someone?! Ohh I hope not a baby. I just don’t get this song and this big soft toy.. ? and that beginning when he seems drowning.. really disturbing. Weirdly, a couple of days ago my LO invented that “game” in the pool.. 😑
Masterpiece. Well done Ed keep bringing songs like this
Amazing song ❤
Everytime when he listeners get less, he drops a banger and all come back to him.
This grief also translates to anxiety always feeling like there’s something there with you judging you always following you and having an overbearing weight that’s hard to escape.
It’s such a beautiful song and is relatable, portrays emotions and it’s not just some song that can make the most money for you it’s real.❤️
I was looking for this comment
❤
I started thinking about it, and now I’m trying to think of grief or anxiety as a big fluffy creature trying to help me get through life. So it is always watching and trying to help, but when we try to hide from it, it doesn’t work. Embrace it and try to live with it. It may never go away, but you can learn to cope. ❤
Love this song! This is my new favorite! Good work ed!!!!!
Just what was needed this year, one thing about Ed is he's gonna articulate every emotion and season you feel in lyrics and composition of song. That's what makes an artist. Thank you Ed, you said it better than I could've to a T "when you thought the year would be different and its only February". Love you Ed for always keeping it real!!
Ed you will probably never read this but in the tiny chance you will i want to say i am not a die hard music listener but you’re music gets me hooked to listening over and over and enjoying every minut of it. Amazing song from another amazing album. Hope life finally go’s up for you again. You deserve it so much! I know this will maybe not be a popular opinion for some of you’re fans but take some time for you’re self and spend some time with you’re lovely family! You need to heal after such devastating events in life. And i am sure you’re wife , daughters and you’re friends will help you heal every step of the way. So hang in there Ed even after the worst storms there is always sunshine. You are the most talented and amazing artist and even more importantly a great man!
Sweet

I love it❤️
I lost my dad to suicide 16 years ago. I’m 23 now, this song is a very accurate and beautiful way of describing what it’s like to lose a loved one. The pain never fades, we just grow and deal with it differently
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️🩹
I’m so sorry for your loss! I hope you are feeling better now 😢
Fly high..
So sorry.
This has become my new favorite song. I watched the documentary on Disney+ and cried through most of it. Ed has an amazing heart on top of all his talent. It’s incredible. I’ve lost too many people I love and I’ve had a few very rough years so this new album really speaks to me. Thank you, Ed, for your vulnerability making this album and the documentary!!
Beautiful song that hit me right in the feels! Keep up the good work, @Ed Sheeran. You are one of a kind!
Went to your concert 11th Feb 2023. You are very talented. Appreciate being alive at the same time, going through life listening to your music. My son is 9, He also attended your concert at Eden park, he is obsessed with your music. Keep on keeping on Ed. Also sorry for what you have been going through in your personal life brother.
Just another masterpiece by Ed👌💪💯🤗
Such an incredibly beautiful song and such a cute animation❤ thank u for doing it again ed❤❤❤
This song is for those who are grieving forever for a lost of their loved ones... because we have no choice, but just to keep going. No matter how hard and painful it is. We continue to live life with our eyes closed.
Pretty good interpretation of the song's meaning. 👍
😢
I was thinking about ending mine 😢💔
Well spoken. Another recommendation for those who are grieving is ed sheeran's visiting hours
So very true. Grief never goes away, we just learn to cope with it, well we try. I’ve lost so many people close to me…this song put all my feelings into words
Still as powerfully Moving & Heartwrenching as 1st listen.Beautifully done💔💛
Thanks for this song. It’s getting me through a tough time.
Such a masterpiece and emotional album for Ed ❤
We love you Ed ❤ thanks for bringing the subtract album to us! 🥰🥰

it's in the description lol
Wrong song lol.
@Lilly no worries, I just pasted so that once I play the song I can scroll and sing :) the same is in description.
But on the phone comments are the ones which looks first so it's just for my convenience 😜
Just love a song that grows on you. Awesome song
Great song! Great album as well. Ed is amazing! Thank you Ed! ❤
This song hits deep. 🔥🔥🔥
One of his best songs 😍😍😍
Love this song so much ❤❤ i keep playing it ❤❤❤❤
Ed, I didn't quite get it until I watched you walk past other people with their GRIEF monsters. Profound AF. Thank you for making a relatable song and what I'm sure will be a whole ass relatable album. ❤
And as soon as he faced it, it desapeared 🥲
Your music will make memories live forever
Edward is definitely a creative guy, especially the way he expresses himself through his music on his personal emotions. I also sensed nostalgia from this video to previous ones such as Drunk, Bump and Give me love. This song felt to me personally like going back to roots in a way and I loved it, despite the circumstances. Love you man and keep on keeping on Christopher ~
Love it so much ❤️
Love your music, Ed Sheeran
This song hits deep Ed. I haven't lost a friend but I've lost time with so many due to moving countries. So I do dance with my eyes closed remembering all my friends and time which I've left behind ❤❤💕
Just woke up and this was the first thing I listened to. Very nice Ed! Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album as well!
they played the same song (lil vrah - bad bunny v2) 😡 😂😅
Mutsuz what Do you mean? Songs are different
Same just woke up and it was on my notifications I luv it

Love you Ed Sheeran! ❤
Ed Sheeran's music is always always good ...😊❤❤❤❤

I Love You Ed ❤You are Amazing 🎵 This Song brings back memories of those we have lost.
This song...and the album...so beautiful...so earnest..touching my Heart ❤

Your song are some of those I listen once everyday.
An amazing song with extremely relatable lyrics!
This song, you did it again Ed!! 😭❤️
❤Ed inspired me to go all in with my music . He was just like me , an artist trying to get heard .And now he's on top. It's happening for me , and I'm not stopping when it does !❤
That song reminds me a lot of the "+" in terms of emotion that awakens me when listening. really looking forward to hearing the whole album. great great song ! I hope to go to the next show in Brazil
Almost a decade of listening to your music 😁 you never fail to touch your fans souls and make incredible music. This will go down as another masterpiece of yours🏆
I needed This Album Along with All the Others You have written ❤Thank You For Helping Me Dance with my eyes closed Again ✌️
You are a gift to humanity, Ed ❤ You will get through this.
I only heard this last night, I can't believe I'm so late! I also wasn't aware anyone else danced with their eyes closed...it's a superior level of musical connection ❤️
A truly perfect song about grief 💖💖💖💐💐💐
He’s done it again. His way of writing hits right to the core of my loss this past year. Right down to the Blue colour and how it follows you around no matter where you go or what you do.
Oh this music is awesome from the vocal to the voice i love it so much, so pretty, Are you a lover of good music like i do??
Nice muziek
Let's hope a little bit of joy definitely needed for a while ❤. Wearing your heart on your sleeve produces some fabulous songs . May the hits keep flowing
I love every single song...You are so talented!!!!

I love this song soo much, it hit me so hard when i first heard it! Now that we know the back story it means so much more. Your amazing Ed!!
🟢🔵🟡
The album is incredible and we can notice new melodies and vocal variations from ED. Simply perfect! Greetings from Brazil ED
O album está incrivel e conseguimos notar novas melodias e variações vocais do ED. Simplesmente perfeito! Saudações do Brasil ED
“I pictured this month a little bit different no one is ever ready” This line hits me hard, another song makes me tear up. Thank you Ed❤️
"this is my worst f*cking song ever, i need to quit putting music out" this line hits me hard, another piece of sh*t makes me tear up. wtf ed. ❤
You obviously didn’t read the lyrics or understand the context of this song there’s a story and meaning behind it he’s a story teller artist not our fault you don’t understand the story he’s telling
Your music is awesome. I really like it.
Ed, I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your incredible new album. Your music truly is a work of art, and I am so grateful to have these beautiful songs to listen to. I had the pleasure of attending your concert in Sydney, and it only reinforced my belief that you are an artist who consistently exceeds expectations.
Your ability to write such powerful and emotional lyrics is truly remarkable, and I have no doubt that your music will continue to inspire and touch the hearts of many. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion with the world, and I can't wait to see what amazing creations you will bring us next.
Yes now I copy and paste 😂
I can’t stop listening your song. Your every song touches my soul. Is it only for me or for other people too
This song has not only touched but hugged my heart in a warm embrace. Everytime I hear it I get goosebumps and a hard to swallow lump in my throat. Been crying since Friday, Ed, have mercy, tissue paper is expensive over here
Hello beautiful 🌹
Thank you for your support and comment, it'll be a pleasure talking to you would you mind?
Another masterpiece, great ❤
I just want to say thank you for this song. I'm suffering from compound grief. My sister died (quickly) from cancer in September, and it hit me hard. We were really close. Then my mom died in November, just before Thanksgiving, after having a hip replacement. I was with her when she passed. I had to take care of her final wishes and service. Then my father passed in his home in January, just before my birthday. I found him. I had to do everything from getting him cremated, planning his service, cleaning out his estate, etc. In that 5 month period of time, I also lost two friends (one was in his early 30's) and my aunt. I'm so depressed. I heard this song and immediately connected to it. It's absolutely perfect. So thank you for sharing this. It was even released at the perfect time. As a matter of fact, I even told my mental health counselor about the song. It's absolutely beautiful.
May God bless ur heart and grant u peace. RIP to ur people, sending love right 2 u
Thank you so much.
I'm sorry for all your losses so soon. I dealt with it when I was 16 my dad in April and my grandpa in May. I know how bad the grief is. May you find peace. I know it's a heavy feeling. I'm sorry you have to go through it. Find the strength where ever you can!
I’m so so sorry. Your nervous system must be in bits. I’m sending you so much healing energy and I hope you are able to find peace in these difficult days. X
OMG I’m so sorry I’m crying, RIP your mom, sister and dad god bless you
Another hit ❤
This is probably my fav on this LP, I dance so often with my eyes closed….I feel music in my soul…I don’t want anyone interrupting my vibe. Also, closing my eyes makes me think that I’m a beautiful ballerina, not a fat granny…😂🥰
Thank you for the beautiful music. I really enjoyed the song.
Beautiful song ❤
Every song is always a hit. I love you Ed.
This is truly a good song. What a great song! Keep it up Ed!
they played the same song (lil vrah - bad bunny v2) 😡 😂😅
Love it 💖💝
Cant believe how far you've come, glad everyone appreciate the work u put out
An immediate favorite! I was lucky to go watch him in concert last night and from the moment he played this, I knew it already was another one I'd love from Ed.
Hi how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe out there?
@Eric Harrison sadly, we can all think we're until stupid people come out and start doing horrific things like the ones that killed all those innocent people and kids in Allen. Thanks for asking and stay safe :)
@Azza Mendoza you are welcome and nice to meet you. Where are you watching from?
@Azza MendozaHello beautiful 🌹
