Too Good At Goodbyes lyrics - Sam Smith

You must think that I'm stupid

You must think that I'm a fool

You must think that I'm new to this

But I have seen this all before

I'm never gonna let you close to me

Even though you mean the most to me

'Cause every time I open up, it hurts

So I'm never gonna get too close to you

Even when I mean the most to you

In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry

And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry

And every time you walk out, the less I love you

Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I know you're thinking I'm heartless

I know you're thinking I'm cold

I'm just protecting my innocence

I'm just protecting my soul

I'm never gonna let you close to me

Even though you mean the most to me

'Cause every time I open up, it hurts

So I'm never gonna get too close to you

Even when I mean the most to you

In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry

And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry

And every time you walk out, the less I love you

Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

No way that you'll see me cry

(No way that you'll see me cry)

I'm way too good at goodbyes

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

No

No, no, no, no, no

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

No, no, no, no

No, no, no

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

(No way that you'll see me cry)

(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

'Cause every time you hurt me, the less that I cry

And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry

And every time you walk out, the less I love you

Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes

Say It First lyrics - Sam Smith

I never feel like this

I'm used to emptiness in my heart

And in my arms

You're not what I'm used to

You keep me guessing with things that you do

I hope that they're true

'Cause I'm never gonna heal my past

If I run every time it starts

So I need to know, if I'm in this alone

Come on baby, say it first

I need to hear you, say those words

If I'm all that you desire, I promise there'll be fire

I need to hear you, say it first

Come on baby

Do your worst

I know you'll take me higher

So come on darling

If you love me, say it first

Say it, say it, say it

Won't you say it to me

Say it, say it, say it

Won't you say it to me

I know you're right for me

But I'm waiting for everything in your world

To align with my world

I think of you while I sleep

I dream of what we could be if we grow

Together unfold

'Cause I'm never gonna heal my past

If I run every time it starts

So I need to know

If I'm in this alone

Come on baby, say it first

I need to hear you, say those words

If I'm all that you desire, I promise there'll be fire

I need to hear you, say it first

Come on baby

Do your worst

I know you'll take me higher

So come on darling

If you love me, say it first

Say it, say it, say it

Won't you say it to me

Say it, say it, say it

Won't you say it to me

Say it first

Say it, say it, say it

Won't you say it to me

Say it, say it, say it

Won't you say it to me

Come on baby, say it first

I need to hear you, say those words

If I'm all that you desire, I promise there'll be fire

I need to hear you, say it first

Come on baby

Do your worst

I know you'll take me higher

So come on darling

If you love me, say it first

Say it, say it, say it

Won't you say it to me

Say it, say it, say it

Won't you say it to me

Say it, say it, say it

Won't you say it to me

Say it, say it, say it

Won't you say it to me

One Last Song lyrics - Sam Smith

Maybe one day

I won't sing about you

I'll sing a song about someone new

But right here, right now

You are on my mind

And I think about you all the time

I'm sending a message to you

And I'm hoping that it will get through

When it was good it was bittersweet honey

You made me sad 'til I loved the shade of blue

I know you don't want to talk to me

So this is what I will do

Maybe you're listening

So here's one last song for you

Here's one last song for you

And I hope it makes you feel

And I hope it makes you burn

And I hope it reminds you of how much it hurt

I'm sending a message to you

And I'm hoping that it will get through

When it was good it was bittersweet honey

You made me sad 'til I loved the shade of blue

I know you don't want to talk to me

So this is what I will do

Maybe you're listening

So here's one last song for you

In case you hear this

Then know you're the love of my life

Want to tell you I'm sorry

I miss having you by my side

When you were mine

When it was good it was bittersweet honey

You made me sad 'til I loved the shade of blue

I know you don't want to talk to me

So this is what I will do

Maybe you're listening

So here's one last song for you

Here's one last song for you

Midnight Train lyrics - Sam Smith (feat. The Dap-Kings Horns)

I choose me

And I know that's selfish, love

You are a dream

And I can't thank you enough

But I give another piece of me away

Every waking day that I'm with you

Am I a monster?

What will your family think of me?

They brought me in

They helped me out with everything

But I give a little piece of me away

Every single day

So I pick up the pieces

I get on the midnight train

I got my reasons

But darling I can't explain

I'll always love you

But tonight's the night I choose to walk away

Love you so much

That I have to let you go

I'll miss your touch

And the secrets we both know

But it would be wrong for me to stay

And I'll just give you hope

So I pick up the pieces

I get on the midnight train

I got my reasons

But darling I can't explain

I'll always love you

But tonight's the night I choose to walk away

I can't stop crying

I hate that I've caused you pain

But I can't deny it

I just don't feel the same

I'll always love you

But tonight's the night I choose to walk away

So I pick up the pieces

I get on the midnight train

I got my reasons

But darling I can't explain

I'll always love you

But tonight's the night I choose to walk away

Burning lyrics - Sam Smith

I've been burning

Yes, I've been burning

Such a burden

This flame on my chest

No insurance to pay for the damage

Yeah, I've been burning up since you left

I've been smoking, oh

More than twenty a day

Blame it on rebellion

Don't blame it on me

Wish I was younger

Back to the nineteenth of May

I had an open mind

Swore to never change

Funny how time goes by

Had respect for myself

That river ran dry

You reached a limit

I wasn't enough

It's like the fire replaced all the love

I've been burning

Yes, I've been burning

Such a burden

This flame on my chest

No insurance to pay for the damage

Yeah, I've been burning up since you left

Oh, if you ever called

I would run straight back

Give you my forgiveness

And the shirt off my back

No friends to turn to

Yeah, I messed up that

Wish we could smoke again

Just for a day, oh

Funny how time goes by

Had respect for myself

That river ran dry

You reached a limit

I wasn't enough

And it's like the fire replaced all the love

I've been burning

Yes, I've been burning

Such a burden

This flame on my chest

No insurance to pay for the damage

Yeah, I've been burning up since you left

Yeah, I've been burning up since you left

Oh, I've been burning up since you left

HIM lyrics - Sam Smith

Holy Father

We need to talk

I have a secret

That I can't keep

I'm not the boy that

You thought you wanted

Please don't get angry

Have faith in me

Say I shouldn't be here but I can't give up his touch

It is him I love

It is him

Don't you try and tell me that God doesn't care for us

It is him I love

It is him I love

I walk the streets of Mississippi

I hold my lover by the hand

I feel you staring when he is with me

How can I make you understand?

Say I shouldn't be here but I can't give up his touch

It is him I love

It is him

Don't you try and tell me that God doesn't care for us

It is him I love

It is him I love

Oh, I love

No, No

I love

I love

Him I love

Him I love

Him I love

Him I love

Holy Father

Judge my sins

I'm not afraid of what they will bring

I'm not the boy that you thought you wanted

I love him

Baby, You Make Me Crazy lyrics - Sam Smith

You say that you're leaving

But I don't think I can let go

When you put the phone down

I began to cry

What are you to do

When the person that you love just says no?

Boy, get yourself together

Move on with your life

So I'm gonna play my favourite rhythm

Got to get you out my system

I would do anything to keep you off my mind

I'm gonna have to call my sisters

Be around the ones who listen

Anything to drown you out tonight

Baby

You make me crazy

Why'd you have to fill my heart with sorrow?

Save me

Make it all hazy

So I don't think about you 'til tomorrow

It wasn't enough

But you could've had the guts to face me

It would have meant so much

If you'd looked me in the eye

Why do I always fall for the ones who have no courage?

I must see some kind of beauty in their eyes

So I'm gonna play my favourite rhythm

Got to get you out my system

I would do anything to keep you off my mind

I'm gonna have to call my sisters

Be around the ones who listen

Anything to drown you out tonight

Baby

You make me crazy

Why'd you have to fill my heart with sorrow?

Save me

Make it all hazy

So I don't think about you 'til tomorrow

Baby

You make me crazy

Why'd you have to fill my heart with sorrow?

Save me

Make it all hazy

So I don't think about you 'til tomorrow

Baby

You make me crazy

Why'd you have to fill my heart with sorrow?

Save me

Make it all hazy

So I don't think about you 'til tomorrow

No Peace lyrics - Sam Smith (feat. Yebba)

I see you in the morning

Feel your fingers in my hair

Sometimes I still pretend you're there

It hits me without warning

Your reflection walking by

But I know it's only in my mind

Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missing?

Won't you give me the part of myself that I can't get back?

Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missing?

'Cause I'd kill for you

And darling you know that

So I'll light up a cigarette

I'll drink it down 'til there's nothing left

'Cause I sure can't get no sleep

And Lord knows there's no relief

You held my heart in your fingertips

So now I drown in my bitterness

Oh, I can't get no sleep

And I sure won't, I sure won't find no peace

No peace

All that I am asking

Is for a little clarity

That's all that really matters to me

In and out of focus

Tears are in my eyes

We're burning down the bridges this time

Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missing?

Won't you give me the part of myself that I can't get back?

Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missing?

'Cause I'd kill for you

And darling you know that

So I'll light up a cigarette

I'll drink it down 'til there's nothing left

'Cause I sure can't get no sleep

And Lord knows there's no relief

You held my heart in your fingertips

So now I drown in my bitterness

Oh, I can't get no sleep

And I sure won't, I sure won't find

I used to find comfort in your arms

Caught up in the wonder of your charms

I'll cry for you, I'll cry for you

I'd lie for you, I'd lie for you

But I don't even know you anymore

So I'll light up a cigarette

I'll drink it down 'til there's nothing left

'Cause I sure can't get no sleep

And Lord knows there's no relief

You held my heart in your fingertips

So now I drown in my bitterness

Oh, I can't get no sleep

And I sure won't, I sure won't find no peace

Sure won't find no peace

Will you give me the piece

Will you give me the piece of my heart?

Will you give me the piece

Will you give me the piece of my heart?

Palace lyrics - Sam Smith

My head is filled with ruins

Most of them are built with you

Now the dust no longer moves

Don't disturb the ghost of you

Mmm

They are empty, they are worn

Tell me what we built this for

On my way to something more

You're that one I can't ignore

Mmm

I'm gonna miss you

I'm still there

Sometimes I wish we never built this palace

But real love is never a waste of time

Mmm

Yeah I know just what you're saying

And I regret ever complaining

About this heart and all its breaking

It was beauty we were making

Mmm

And I know we'll both move on

You'll forgive what I did wrong

They will love the better you

But I still own the ghost of you

Mmm

I'm gonna miss you

I'm still there

Sometimes I wish we never built this palace

But real love is never a waste of time

I'm gonna miss you

I'm still there

Sometimes I wish we never built this palace

But real love is never a waste of time

But real love is never a waste of time

Pray lyrics - Sam Smith

I'm young and I'm foolish, I've made bad decisions

I block out the news, turn my back on religion

Don't have no degree, I'm somewhat naïve

I've made it this far on my own

But lately, that shit ain't been getting me higher

I lift up my head and the world is on fire

There's dread in my heart and fear in my bones

And I just don't know what to say

Maybe I'll pray, pray

Maybe I'll pray

I have never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna pray

You won't find me in church (no!) reading the Bible (no!)

I am still here and I'm still your disciple

I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please

I'm broken, alone, and afraid

I'm not a saint, I'm more of a sinner

I don't wanna lose, but I fear for the winners

When I try to explain, the words run away

That's why I am stood here today

And I'm gonna pray (Lord), pray (Lord)

Maybe I'll pray, pray for a glimmer of hope

Maybe I'll pray (Lord), pray (Lord)

Maybe I'll pray

I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna

Won't you call me?

Can we have a one-on-one, please?

Let's talk about freedom

Everyone prays in the end

Everyone prays in the end

Won't you call me?

Can we have a one-on-one, please?

Let's talk about freedom

Everyone prays in the end

Everyone prays in the end

Oh, I'm gonna pray, I'm gonna pray

I'm gonna pray, pray for a glimmer of hope

Maybe I'll pray, pray

Maybe I'll pray

I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna pray

Nothing Left For You lyrics - Sam Smith

Maybe I'm done

Maybe it's true

Maybe I had one chance

And I lost it with you

We fell so hard

With nothing to lose

I'll never love again

I'll never love you

'Cause I gave

My heart

To a goddamn fool

I gave him everything

Now there's nothing left for you

'Cause I gave

My heart

To a goddamn fool

I lost everything

Now I have nothing left for you

I have nothing left for you

I can't pretend

Pretend that I care

I see how you look at me

But I am not there

The damage is done

I'll save you the time

And if there are feelings there

They are not mine

'Cause I gave

My heart

To a goddamn fool

I gave him everything

Now there's nothing left for you

'Cause I gave

My heart

To a goddamn fool

I lost everything

And I have nothing left for you

Oh, I have nothing left for you

No

You won't hear me say those words again

This is something that you cannot mend

Can't you see I am a product of my own past

So I know this will never last

And I will not cover your fears

I will not pick up your tears

I'll live out the rest of my days alone

'Cause I gave

My heart

To a goddamn fool

I gave him everything

Now there's nothing left for you

'Cause I gave

My heart

To a goddamn fool

I lost everything

And I have nothing left for you

The Thrill Of It All lyrics - Sam Smith

I regret that I told the world

That you were with me

And I regret how I showed the world

That you were pretty

I never thought I'd learn so much

So much from being lonely

But I guess I didn't learn enough

'Cause now you won't hold me

I guess I got lost in the moment

I guess I got lost in the fall

I guess I got lost in your heartbeat

In the thrill of it all

And I guess you were goddamn perfect

'Cause every single time you call

I remind myself of what I lost that night

My love

In the thrill of it all

In the thrill of it all

Even though we weren't in love

It was far from lust

Yeah, you were beautiful

But in you I could trust

Others they warned my heart

They said I would lose fast

They say that you were stopping ground

And soon to be my past

I guess I got lost in the moment

I guess I got lost in the fall

I guess I got lost in your heartbeat

In the thrill of it all

And I guess you were goddamn perfect

'Cause every single time you call

I remind myself of what I lost that night

My love

In the thrill of it all

In the thrill of it all

And I guess you were goddamn perfect

'Cause every single time you call

I remind myself of what I lost that night

My love

I remind myself of what I lost that night

My love

I remind myself of what I lost that night

My love

In the thrill of it all

Scars lyrics - Sam Smith

This is for my mother, from the older brother of your children

Made of three

Now you found your lover 'cause it wasn't our father who

Made you laugh and happy

It's been a long five years, I've cried a thousand tears and here

We are after the war

But we're so much better now the skies are clearer, now

There's no more slamming doors

Now I say

Dear Mother, how you've come so far

Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts

I hope you're proud, Mother, of what you've done

It's a lifelong lesson and I'm not pretending when I say

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

This is for my father, from the older brother of your children

Made of three

Yeah you've been so good to us and showed us how to live and

Taught us to be free

But when Mother told you that she didn't love you all these

Bridges hit the sea

So you built another one and helped us cross it even

Though you were in need

Now I say

Dear Father, how you've come so far

Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts

I hope you're proud, Father, of what you've done

It's a lifelong lesson and I'm not pretending when I say

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

Dear Mother, how you've come so far

Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts

I hope you're proud, Mother, of what you've done

It's a lifelong lesson and I'm not pretending when I say

You cleared up my scars

One Day At A Time lyrics - Sam Smith

Let's turn off our phones tonight

And rely on the stars

We've been so lost lately

We forgot who we are

But I got everything I need, baby

In the palms of your touch

In a world of dark distractions

It can all get too much

So let's sit by an English river

'Til the water runs dry

Can we light a cigarette

And talk about days gone by?

We're neither saints or sinners

So leave your history behind

Let's grab a bottle and take it one day at a time

Take it one day at a time

I know you're feeling weighed down tonight

And you can't find the breaks

Every day is too long for you

You were sworn to your fate

But we got everything we need, baby

In the memories we make

In a world of reinventions

It's never too late

So let's sit by an English river

'Til the water runs dry

Can we light a cigarette

And talk about days gone by?

We're neither saints or sinners

So leave your history behind

Let's grab a bottle and take it one day at a time

Take it one day at a time

So let's sit by an English river

'Til the water runs dry

There is nothing that we've done wrong

That can't be made right

We're neither saints or sinners

So leave your history behind

Let's grab a bottle and take it

Grab a bottle and take it

Grab a bottle and take it one day at a time
