Ed Sheeran - New Man/Eraser LIVE lyrics

[Verse 1] I heard he spent five hundred pounds on jeans Goes to the gym at least six times a week Wears boat shoes with no socks on his feet And I hear he's on a new diet and watches what he eats He's got his eyebrows plucked and his arsehole bleached Owns every single Ministry CD Tribal tattoos and he don't know what it means But I heard he makes you happy, so that's fine by me But still, I'm just keepin' it real Still lookin' at your Instagram and I'll be creepin' a lil' I'll be tryin' not to double tap, from way back 'Cause I know that's where the trouble's at Let me remind you of the days when You used to hold my hand And when we sipped champagne out of cider cans I guess if you were Lois Lane, I wasn't Superman Just a young boy tryin' to be loved So let me give it to ya [Chorus 1] I don't wanna know about your new man 'Cause if it was meant to be You wouldn't be callin' me up tryin' to f- 'Cause I'm positive that he don't wanna know about me I don't wanna know about your new man We'll get there eventually I know you're missin' all this kind of love But I'm positive that he don't wanna know about me [Verse 2] Your new man rents a house in the 'burb And wears a man bag on his shoulder, but I call it a purse Every year, he goes to Málaga with all the fellas Drinks beer, but has a six pack, I'm kinda jealous He wears sungla**es indoors, in winter, at nighttime And every time a rap song comes on, he makes a gang sign Says "Chune, bwoydem light up the room!" But enough about him, girl, let's talk about you You were the type of girl who sat beside the water readin' Eatin' a packet of crisps, but you will never find you cheatin' Now you're eatin' kale, hittin' the gym Keepin' up with Kylie and Kim In the back of the club, kissin' a boy that ain't him Okay, you need to be alone And if you wanna talk about it, you can call my phone I just thought I would tell you, 'cause you oughta know You're still a young girl tryin' to be loved So let me give it to ya [Chorus 2] I don't wanna know about your new man 'Cause if it was meant to be You wouldn't be callin' me up tryin' to f- 'Cause I'm positive that he don't wanna know about me I don't wanna know about your new man We'll get there eventually I know you're missin' all this kind of love But I'm positive that he don't wanna know about me [Verse 3] I woke up this morning lookin' in the mirror Thinkin' to myself that I should probably be thinner The industry told me to look like them But I found my happiness in fried food for my dinner I wish that she could have been my first time And I wish that I'd never took that first line And I wish that every word in this verse rhymed But forgive me if it doesn't I wish that I could make peace with my older cousin I wish he didn't think that it was me when it wasn't I wish I didn't love it when I'm high And my face feels buzzin' And the taste stays underneath my tongue, and Wish that I had known what to do as a youngling Wish I hadn't dropped out of school And missed every single party With that hardly matters now, man, does it? Wish I had an answer to everything, but f** it I wish creatin' art didn't come with a budget But while we're on the subject I wish my private life would have never gone public But that's the sacrifice that we make Spendin' my whole time high livin' life away [Verse 4] I was born inside a small town I've lost that state of mind Learned to sing inside the Lord's house But stopped at the age of nine I forget when I get awards now the wave I had to ride The paving stones I played upon They kept me on the grind So blame it on the pain that blessed me with the life Friends and family filled with envy When they should be filled with pride And when the world's against me Is when I really come alive And every day that Satan tempts me I try to take it in my stride You know that I've got whisky With white lines and smoke in my lungs I think life has got to the point I know without it's no fun I need to get in the right mind and clear myself up Instead, I look in the mirror questioning what I've become I guess it's a stereotypical day for someone like me Without a nine-to-five job or a uni degree To be caught up in the trappings of the industry They showed me the locked doors I find another use of key And you'll see [Chorus 3] I'm well aware of certain things That will befall a man like me But with that said give me one more, higher Another one to take the sting away I am happy on my own, so here I'll stay Save your lovin' arms for a rainy day And I'll find comfort in my pain Eraser [Verse 5] I used to think that nothing could be better Than touring the world with my songs I chased the picture perfect life I think they painted it wrong I think that money is the root of evil and fame is hell Relationships and hearts you fixed, they break as well And ain't nobody wanna see you down in the dumps Because you're living your dream Man, this sh** should be fun Please know that I'm not trying to preach Like I'm Reverend Run I beg you, don't be disappointed With the man I've become Our conversations with my father on the A14 Age twelve telling me I've gotta chase those dreams Now I'm playing for the people, Dad, and they know me With my beat and small guitar wearing the same old jeans Wembley Stadium crowd two hundred and forty thou I may have grown up but I hope that Damien's proud And to the next generation, inspiration's allowed The world may be filled with hate But keep erasing it now I'm using jumpers for goalposts, cigarettes for throat cold Mum sayin', "Don't smoke, " no, I don't listen I got love for a ghost note Shows on the gold coast People that I don't know share the same vision I find truth in the hard times And words that aren't mine Tryin' to find a love with a compatible star sign Sometimes I can't write, sentences can't rhyme Starin' at my notepad quick I'm tryin' to find mine sh** quick before I hit it again Surrounded in the industry by all these ignorant men And who knew that I'd be paid just to pick up a pen Just let me hit the studio when we can rip it again I'm a competitive dick with an adrenaline kick My daddy told me "Work hard and you can never be sh**" I've seen all my heroes dethroned except my dad Set back here reminiscing 'bout the times we had One wish [Chorus 4] I don't wanna know about your new man 'Cause if it was meant to be You wouldn't be callin' me up tryin' to f- 'Cause I'm positive that he don't wanna know about me I don't wanna know about your new man We'll get there eventually I know you're missin' all this kind of love But I'm positive that he don't wanna know about me
