Sam Smith - The Thrill of It All Lyrics
Too Good At Goodbyes
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 to 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) oh
(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
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, 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
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
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
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
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 the 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, have you ever called
I will burst 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 the 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
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)
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
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 favorite 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
Oh, 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 favorite 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
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 missin'?
Won't you give me the part of myself that I can't give back?
Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missin'?
'Cause I'd kill for you, and darlin', you know that
So I'll light up a cigarette
I'll drink it down 'til there's nothin' 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 burnin' down the bridges this time
Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missin'?
Oh, won't you give me the part of myself that I can't give back?
Oh, will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missin'?
'Cause I'd kill for you, and darlin', you know that
So I'll light up a cigarette
I'll drink it down 'til there's nothin' left
'Cause I sure can't get no sleep (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
Oh, I'll cry for you, I'll cry for you
I'll lie for you, I'll 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 nothin' 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, oh
Sure won't find no peace, no, no
Will you give me the piece
Will you give me the piece of my heart?
Will you give me the piece
Won't you give me the piece of my heart?

Palace
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 still care
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
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 naive
I've made it this far on my own
But lately, that shit ain't been gettin' 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 beggin' 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
Oh, 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
