Drowning Shadows Lyrics - Sam Smith

[Sam]

Running round,

Chasing hearts,

Chasing bodies,

To fix the past

I don't know how I reached this place,

So far from heaven, so far from grace

And I run to give in to the pressure,

'cause I feel like the city's got the better of me,

Oh, this casual love,

Isn't what it seems.

And I try to imagine something closer,

And somebody who is good for me,

I'm so tired of all this searching,

Do i, do i, do i, do I go home to nothing?

Or stay out for more?

Give in to someone?

Or knock down my door?

Or drown all my shadows,

Drown them like before,

Drowning shadows, once more

The more I drink,

The more I drown,

I found that thinking,

I wrote it down

The more I rise above it all,

The less I care, about those falls

And I run to give in to the pressure,

'cause I feel like the city's got the better of me

Oh, this casual love,

Isn't what it seems.

And I try to imagine something closer,

And somebody who is good for me,

I'm so tired of all this searching,

Do i, do i, do i, do I go home to nothing?

Or stay out for more?

Give in to someone?

Or knock down my door?

Or drown all my shadows,

Drown them like before,

Drowning shadows, once more

Once more

Once more

Go home to nothing, or stay out for more?

Give in to someone, or

Or drown all my shadows,

Drown them like before

Drowning shadows, once more.

Writing's On The Wall Lyrics - Sam Smith

 

[Verse 1]
I've been here before
But always hit the floor
I've spent a lifetime running
And I always get away
But with you I'm feeling something
That makes me want to stay

I'm prepared for this
I never shoot to miss
But I feel like a storm is coming
If I'm gonna make it through the day
Then there's no more use in running
This is something I gotta face

[Pre-Chorus]
If I risk it all
Could you break my fall?

[Chorus]
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cause the writing's on the wall

[Verse 2]
A million shards of glass
That haunt me from my past
As the stars begin to gather
And the light begins to fade
When all hope begins to shatter
Know that I won't be afraid

[Pre-Chorus]
If I risk it all
Could you break my fall?

[Chorus]
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cause the writing's on the wall

[Bridge: Instrumental]
The writing's on the wall

[Chorus]
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cause the writing's on the wall.

Lay Me Down Lyrics - Sam Smith

Yes, I do, I believe

That one day I will be where I was

Right there, right next to you

And it's hard, the days just seem so dark

The moon, the stars are nothing without you

Your touch, your skin,

Where do I begin?

No words can explain the way I’m missing you

Deny this emptiness, this hole that I’m inside

These tears, they tell their own story

You told me not to cry when you were gone

[Regular version:] But the feeling’s overwhelming, they're much too strong

[Acoustic version:] But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong

Can I lay by your side, next to you, you

And make sure you’re alright?

I’ll take care of you,

And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight

I’m reaching out to you

Can you hear my call? (who's to say you won't hear me?)

This hurt that I’ve been through

I’m missing you, missing you like crazy

You told me not to cry when you were gone

[Regular version:] But the feeling’s overwhelming, they're much too strong

[Acoustic version:] But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong

Can I lay by your side, next to you, you

And make sure you’re alright?

I’ll take care of you

And I don’t wanna be here if I can’t be with you tonight

Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side

Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side

Can I lay by your side, next to you, you

[Acoustic version ends here]

And make sure you’re alright?

I’ll take care of you

And I don’t wanna be here if I can’t be with you tonight.

I'm Not The Only One Lyrics - Sam Smith

You and me, we made a vow

For better or for worse

I can't believe you let me down

But the proof's in the way it hurts

For months on end I've had my doubts

Denying every tear

I wish this would be over now

But I know that I still need you here

[Chorus:]

You say I'm crazy

'Cause you don't think I know what you've done

But when you call me baby

I know I'm not the only one

You've been so unavailable

Now sadly I know why

Your heart is unobtainable

Even though Lord knows you kept mine

[Chorus:]

You say I'm crazy

'Cause you don't think I know what you've done

But when you call me baby

I know I'm not the only one

I have loved you for many years

Maybe I am just not enough

You've made me realize my deepest fear

By lying and tearing us up

[Chorus 2x:]

You say I'm crazy

'Cause you don't think I know what you've done

But when you call me baby

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

I know I'm not the only one

And I know...

I know I'm not the only one.

Like I Can Lyrics - Sam Smith

He could be a sinner, or a gentleman
He could be a preacher, when your soul is damned
He could be a lawyer on a witness stand but
He'll never love you like I can, can

He could be a stranger, you gave a second glance
He could be a trophy, of a one night stand
He could have your humour, but I don't understand cause
He'll never love you like I can, can, can

Why are you looking down all the wrong roads
When mine is the heart and the salt of the soul
There may be lovers who hold out their hands but
He'll never love you like I can, can, can
He'll never love you like I can, can

A chance encounter of circumstance
Baby he's a mantra, keeps your mind entranced
He could be the silence in this mayhem, but then again
He'll never love you like I can, can, can

Why are you looking down all the wrong roads
When mine is the heart and the salt of the soul
There may be lovers who hold out their hands but
He'll never love you like I can, can, can
He'll never love you like I can, can, can
He'll never love you like I can, can, can

We both have demons, that we can't stand
I love your demons, like devils can
If you're still seeking an honest man
And stop deceiving Lord please

Why are you looking down all the wrong roads
When mine is the heart and the salt of the soul
There may be lovers who hold out their hands but
He'll never love you like I can, can, can
He'll never love you like I can, can, can
He'll never love you like I can, can, can.
