Edward Christopher "Ed" Sheeran (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter and musician. He was born in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire and raised in Framlingham, Suffolk. After dropping out of school at 16, he moved to London the following year, in 2008, to pursue a career in music. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project, which caught the attention of Elton John and Jamie Foxx. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (read as "plus"), was released on 9 September 2011 and has since been certified six-times platinum in the UK. The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act.
Sheeran's popularity abroad began in 2012. In the US, he made a guest appearance on Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John. He spent much of 2013 opening for Swift's The Red Tour in North America dates. In late 2013, he performed three sold-out shows at New York's Madison Square Garden as a headline act. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2014 Grammy Awards.
Crossing the line again, it's all fundamental
Feeling like there's got to be a way to control
But some people keep to themselves
And with a little luck it goes away with in time
Pushing everybody out the way so get the fuck away
Pushing everybody out the way inside
Of me there's a place I keep it's so sentimental
I create to watch you all from inside
Take a deep breath because it's time, I gotta let it out
Let you know, way too much inside
Impurities they shape and mold you
You better run, you better open your eyes
Listen to what the fuck I gotta say
What the fuck you say?
Listen to what the fuck I gotta say , one time
Self-control I don't wanna indulge you
So I guess I'll keep taking my time
This is the life you lead, you're so sentimental
Hold your tongue, you gotta keep it inside
But you gotta be so damn sentimental
Too sensitive, I gotta keep it inside
Always ending up at the place that I start
Running around in circles for sense of control
I know that better days are coming
Open the treasures their hidden inside
Counting all the lies along the way count 1, 2, 3
Count another lie, look it up it's mine
This monster's almost grown
This anger's not my own
This is the life you lead, you're so sentimental
Hold your tongue, you gotta keep it inside
But you gotta be so damn sentimental
Too sensitive, I gotta keep it inside
So take away my sun
My only means of shelter
I'll try again
Well I'll try harder
Chew it up and swallow
Push it down inside
Chew it up and swallow
Push it down inside
This is the life you lead, you're so sentimental
Hold your tongue, you gotta keep it inside
But you gotta be so damn sentimental
Too sensitive, I gotta keep it inside
This is the life you lead, you're so sentimental
Hold your tongue, you gotta keep it inside
But you gotta be so damn sentimental
Too sensitive, I gotta keep it inside
This is the life you lead
This is the life you lead
This is the life you lead
This is the life you lead
Flowing, flowing
