[Lyrics from HMV Empire Live Performance]

[Verse 1]
This is a dark parade
Another rough patch to rain on, to rain on
I know your friends have been saying
This is the cause of celebration if it parades though

[Pre-Chrous]
Photographs of civil thorns so still the pass barely finding the call, alone
There were times when I could feel your ghost
Just when I'm almost letting you go
'Cause cars were stuck against us both

[Chorus]
I will always love you for what it's worth
Never fade like graffiti on the overpass
I know time may change the way we think of us
But I remember the way we were
You were the first full stop
Love that will never leave
Baby, you'll never be lost on me

Oooh, oooh

[Verse 2]
This is got them shame
Never wanted to break it or leave us tainted
Now I should walk away
But I just can't replace us or even erase us

[Pre-Chorus]
Cars were stuck at the engines store
And both of us got out in the snow, alone
There were times to ride, forget, lose
Things that hide for all that we've ever known
Cars were stuck against us both

[Chorus]
I will always love you for what it's worth
Never fade like graffiti on the overpass
I know time may change the way we think of us
But I remember the way we were
You were the first full stop
Love that will never leave
Baby, you'll never be lost on me

Oooh, oooh

Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran is a singer/songwriter who was born in Halifax, England but was raised in Suffolk, England. He’s known for his energetic live shows, which involve him using a loop pedal and sometimes throwing some raps in for good measure.

Ed’s success story began with him playing music in older people’s homes. He first was picked up by a record producer when busking in the USA. He performed nearly a thousand gigs and street performances before getting the recognition he deserved. Unsigned projects such as Loose Change and Songs I Wrote with Amy relied on the production of long-term collaborator Jake Gosling and signaled the start of their hugely successful musical relationship. Soon he’d made countless industry friends.

Teaming up with some of the biggest names in UK grime – Wiley, Ghetts, Jme and more – he released the No. 5 Collaborations Project in January 2011, and it reached number 46 on the UK Singles Chart. One of the songs, “Little Lady” (feat. Mikill Pane), was a fan favourite, so Ed made a more radio-friendly solo version entitled “The A Team” and the rest is history. The song now has over a million sales in the UK and two million in the US.
