I'm Not The Only One
Sam Smith - Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 Lord knows you kept 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
In “I’m Not The Only One,” Sam Smith talks about a broken relationship and unfaithfulness being the root of the problem. He and his partner made a vow to stay together regardless of what happens, but unfortunately, his partner has cheated on him. The pain of the betrayal is evident in the way it hurts, and Smith mentions having doubts for months, even when he was trying to deny them. Smith wishes the ordeal would be over, but he knows that he still needs his partner. However, when his partner calls him “baby,” Smith is reminded of the cheating and is forced to acknowledge that he's not the only one who knows about it.
Smith delves further by mentioning the unavailability of his partner and realizing that his heart is unobtainable. Smith thinks that maybe he's not enough to satisfy his partner's heart and realizes his deepest fear of being lied to and having his relationship torn apart. Despite all the pain and hurt, Smith still loves his partner.
The lyrics of the song convey intense emotions of betrayal, sadness, pain, and heartbreak. It is impressive how Smith can connect with his listeners on a deep level by telling a relatable story and showing the emotions, and it's no wonder that the song was a massive hit when it was released.

You and me we made a vow
We promised and committed to each other
For better or for worse
No matter what happens, we will stay together
I can't believe you let me down
I trusted you and you betrayed me
But the proof is in the way it hurts
It's evident in how much pain I feel
For months on end I've had my doubts
I've been questioning our relationship for a long time
Denying every tear
Trying to hide my emotions and pretending everything is okay
I wish this would be over now
I want this pain to end
But I know that I still need you here
Despite everything, I still want you in my life
You say I'm crazy
You think I'm irrational
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
You believe that I'm unaware of your actions
But when you call me baby
When you show me affection
I know I'm not the only one
I realize that you have been unfaithful to me
You've been so unavailable
You've been neglecting me and our relationship
Now sadly I know why
I finally understand the reason why you've been distant
Your heart is unobtainable
You're emotionally unavailable
Even though Lord knows you kept mine
Even though you have my heart
I have loved you for many years
I've had feelings for you for a long time
Maybe I am just not enough
Perhaps I'm not good enough for you
You've made me realize my deepest fear
You've shown me my biggest fear has come true
By lying and tearing us up
Through your deceitful actions, you've destroyed our relationship
