When It
Sam Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it's alright
When it's alright
When it's alright
When the night
Comes falling in your eyes
And you rain your love on me
Beating next to mine
There's nothing more for me
Let it beat
When it's alright
The feeling is so good
And when it's alright
I know my heart is understood
And when it's alright
There's nothing I can do
But give my life to you
Won't you say
That it's alright
When it's alright
When it's alright
When it's alright (you say)
The feeling is so good
And when it's alright
I know my heart is understood
And when it's alright
There's nothing I can do
But give my life to you
When the morning
Comes dawning in your eyes
And you rain your love on me
While I am as helpless
As a cloud up in the sky
You push away my fears
And now you're here
And when it's alright
The feeling is so good
And when it's alright
I know my heart is understood
And when it's alright
There's nothing I can do
But give my life to you
Won't you say
When it's alright (you say)
When it's alright
When it's alright
The feeling is so good
And when it's alright
And when it's alright
The feeling is so good
And when it's alright
I know my heart is understood
And when it's alright
There's nothing I can do
But give my life to you
And when it's alright (you say)
The feeling is so good
I know my heart is understood
There's nothing I can do
But give my life to you (won't you say)

Lyrics
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 to 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)
(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
