I
Sam Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and me we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof is 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

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 you don't share mine

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

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 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

Overall Meaning

The song 'I'm Not the Only One' by Sam Smith is a powerful ballad about the pain of betrayal and the lingering hope for reconciliation in a relationship. The lyrics are a narration of a relationship that is slowly falling apart due to a partner’s infidelity. The first four lines of the song talk about the vow that was made by both partners, “you and me we made a vow/ for better or for worse/ I can’t believe you let me down/ but the proof is in the way it hurts.” The singer describes how the betrayal has impacted him/her negatively and how the pain he/she is experiencing is an undeniable proof of the betrayal.


In the next verse, Sam Smith sings about the doubts he has been having for months, “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.” The singer describes how he/she has been in denial, pretending that everything is alright even though he/she has been crying, and hoping that this suffering will soon come to an end. The chorus of the song is where the singer confronts his/her partner, expressing his/her realization of the betrayal, “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.”


The third verse is a poignant one, as it talks about the singer's love for his/her partner, “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.” Sam Smith's delivery of the lyrics is full of emotion, as he sings of a love that is not enough to save the relationship from the betrayal that has already occurred. In the end, the singer realizes that he/she is not the only one to have suffered in the relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

You and me we made a vow
We promised to be together through thick and thin


For better or for worse
No matter what happens, we are in this together


I can't believe you let me down
I trusted you and you broke that trust


But the proof is in the way it hurts
The pain I feel is proof that something is wrong


For months on end I've had my doubts
I've been questioning our relationship for a while now


Denying every tear
Trying to ignore my feelings and emotions


I wish this would be over now
I want the pain to stop


But I know that I still need you here
Despite everything, I still want you in my life


You say I'm crazy
You are dismissing my concerns as unfounded

You think you can hide your actions from me


But when you call me baby
Your affection makes me doubt my suspicions


I know I'm not the only one
I suspect you are seeing other people too


You've been so unavailable
You've been distant and hard to reach


Now sadly I know why
I realize the reason for your unavailability

Maybe I cannot meet your expectations


You've made me realize my deepest fear
You've confirmed my worst fear about our relationship


By lying and tearing us up
Your actions have damaged our relationship beyond repair

Romanos 8
1
Ahora, pues, ninguna condenación hay para los que están en Cristo Jesús, los que no andan conforme a la carne, sino conforme al Espíritu.
2 Porque la ley del Espíritu de vida en Cristo Jesús me ha librado de la ley del pecado y de la muerte.
3 Porque lo que era imposible para la ley, por cuanto era débil por la carne, Dios, enviando a su Hijo en semejanza de carne de pecado y a causa del pecado, condenó al pecado en la carne;
4 para que la justicia de la ley se cumpliese en nosotros, que no andamos conforme a la carne, sino conforme al Espíritu.
5 Porque los que son de la carne piensan en las cosas de la carne; pero los que son del Espíritu, en las cosas del Espíritu.
6 Porque el ocuparse de la carne es muerte, pero el ocuparse del Espíritu es vida y paz.
7 Por cuanto los designios de la carne son enemistad contra Dios; porque no se sujetan a la ley de Dios, ni tampoco pueden;
8 y los que viven según la carne no pueden agradar a Dios.
9 Mas vosotros no vivís según la carne, sino según el Espíritu, si es que el Espíritu de Dios mora en vosotros. Y si alguno no tiene el Espíritu de Cristo, no es de él.
10 Pero si Cristo está en vosotros, el cuerpo en verdad está muerto a causa del pecado, mas el espíritu vive a causa de la justicia.
11 Y si el Espíritu de aquel que levantó de los muertos a Jesús mora en vosotros, el que levantó de los muertos a Cristo Jesús vivificará también vuestros cuerpos mortales por su Espíritu que mora en vosotros.
12 Así que, hermanos, deudores somos, no a la carne, para que vivamos conforme a la carne;
13 porque si vivís conforme a la carne, moriréis; mas si por el Espíritu hacéis morir las obras de la carne, viviréis.
14 Porque todos los que son guiados por el Espíritu de Dios, éstos son hijos de Dios.
15 Pues no habéis recibido el espíritu de esclavitud para estar otra vez en temor, sino que habéis recibido el espíritu de adopción, por el cual clamamos: ¡Abba, Padre!
16 El Espíritu mismo da testimonio a nuestro espíritu, de que somos hijos de Dios.
17 Y si hijos, también herederos; herederos de Dios y coherederos con Cristo, si es que padecemos juntamente con él, para que juntamente con él seamos glorificados.
18 Pues tengo por cierto que las aflicciones del tiempo presente no son comparables con la gloria venidera que en nosotros ha de manifestarse.
19 Porque el anhelo ardiente de la creación es el aguardar la manifestación de los hijos de Dios.
20 Porque la creación fue sujetada a vanidad, no por su propia voluntad, sino por causa del que la sujetó en esperanza;
21 porque también la creación misma será libertada de la esclavitud de corrupción, a la libertad gloriosa de los hijos de Dios.
22 Porque sabemos que toda la creación gime a una, y a una está con dolores de parto hasta ahora;
23 y no sólo ella, sino que también nosotros mismos, que tenemos las primicias del Espíritu, nosotros también gemimos dentro de nosotros mismos, esperando la adopción, la redención de nuestro cuerpo.
24 Porque en esperanza fuimos salvos; pero la esperanza que se ve, no es esperanza; porque lo que alguno ve, ¿a qué esperarlo?
25 Pero si esperamos lo que no vemos, con paciencia lo aguardamos.
26 Y de igual manera el Espíritu nos ayuda en nuestra debilidad; pues qué hemos de pedir como conviene, no lo sabemos, pero el Espíritu mismo intercede por nosotros con gemidos indecibles.
27 Mas el que escudriña los corazones sabe cuál es la intención del Espíritu, porque conforme a la voluntad de Dios intercede por los santos.
