Not In That Way

Sam Smith

In The Lonely Hour (Drowning Shadows Edition), 2014, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

And I hate to say I love you
When it's so hard for me
And I hate to say I want you
When you make it so clear
You don't want me
I'd never ask you 'cause deep down
I'm certain I know what you'd say
You'd say I'm sorry, believe me
I love you, but not in that way
And I hate, to say I need you
I'm so reliant
I'm so dependant
I'm such a fool
When you're not there
I find myself singing the blues
Can't bear
Can't face the truth
You will never know that feeling
You will never see through these eyes
I'd never ask you 'cause deep down
I'm certain I know what you'd say
You'd say I'm sorry, believe me
I love you, but not in that way
You'd say I'm sorry, believe me, I love you
But not in that way
