Sam Smith - Not In That Way Lyrics






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 dependent
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."

    I don't explain my feelings very well, and it's why I feel this song. It's hard when you love someone, and u know they love you too-but not in the way you want

  8. R.... Y....

  11. L.... H....

    Dear God, in this song I know he felt my exact current pain.. you cannot write a song like this if you're not in the moment experiencing "that" pain. It's not your normal hurt. It's an in your soul kinda pain😔

  12. E.... L....

    Bro I need better friends. I just want those friends who I can hang out with until 3am without worry. I need to find better people who dont just use me or waste my time. I need to find a significant other who doesnt care about looks. Man I need to talk to better people.

  13. B.... B....

    ele parece a Pablo Vittar em 2:02

  14. K.... K....

    2 yrs passed, im still cryin when i hear this song.

  15. D.... ....

    this song hits different. 🥵

  16. T.... ....

    I love you Amrita...

  17. B.... C....

    I’m not crying you are.....😭

  18. D.... C....

    Es una mierda que las personas solo se alejen sin decir mas nada...😪

  19. K.... H....

    Can’t face the truth.... You will never know that feelings you will never see through these eyes ...
    Hits my heart so hard . Don’t know how some people just walk away like nothing ever happened while the other person is shattered into a million pieces on the ground

  20. H.... G....

    (sigh)...

  21. k.... i....

    Imagine falling your bestfriend 😔😔

  22. f.... g....

    What a fool this song is so dead on

  23. T.... H....

    This song just exposed everything I'm going through right now

    T.... H....

    Your not alone. Love and strength to you mending a broken heart❤😔

    T.... H....

    Taneka Hyatt literally

    T.... H....

    I’d say never give up but at the same time you can’t force someone to love you and I’ve learned that that’s the worst feeling in the world and I feel your pain .. bc I am in love with someone who never got over their ex and used me to try and ignore it and I fell in love to only be left behind and after she told me she loved me and then a week later cried to me about her ex... and didn’t care about my feelings and just walked away like it was nothing....

  24. D.... R....

    Love this way to much!!

  25. M.... u....

    “i’m such a fool”






    yeah, he’s right :’)

    M.... u....

    **they're right

  26. I.... M....

    Just crying the entire the song plays.

    I.... M....

    Everytime

  27. I.... M....

    why is it that the one person that said 'i love you' is the one I have to let go bc he is that one shutting me out when I told him how i feel for him and he told me that he loved me more. (can relate to this song)

  28. D.... D....

    I was 23 he was 43 I thought we were invincible, turns out I was wrong.... I was made a fool and I still am...

    D.... D....

    💔😔

  29. S.... C....

    I did not give you permission to sing a song about me nor did i sign up for onion ninjas.

  30. S.... C....

    The thing is i kinda feel this both ways, ive been the one to say im sorry beleive me i love you but not in that wat, ive been the one singing too. :,\

  31. E.... V....

    this song touch and grab my soul honestly especially the first part

  32. A.... D....

    This mans voice is beyond amazing 😭😭😭

  33. A.... S....

    Why does this have no views? This is brilliant!

  34. D.... ....

    This friend zone shit sucks

  35. R.... ....

    Fell in love with my best friend. Have been for months. Finally kissed him yesterday at 4am. More than once as we cuddled on a bench all night.
    Today he told me he isn't ready for a relationship and all that stuff. Fair enough but God I had my hopes up for the first time in months and it hurt a lot more than I thought it would

    R.... ....

    I'm sorry. I can only imagine the pain. The guy I love isn't even interested a little bit. He ignores me. I'm "too young" for him. I really wish I could hug or talk to him. Just once.
    I really hope you get to keep him as a friend tho. Also the pain will be shit but if you feel like that you feel like that. And you shouldn't play it down. Just some advice

  36. D.... K....

    so sam rlly has me cryin huh

  37. J.... O....

    A.... J....

    NOOOOOO BISH ME TOO
    ME WITH HIM

    A.... J....

    atheist exact same but he has no girlfriend idk if he's gay or not fml

  79. W.... B....

    You know...I've always been there. You never see me though...your too focused on the guys that always hurt you and I'm the one who helps you through each of them. When will you realize that I'm there for you Em? I love you and have for over a year yet never said a word... I'm still waiting Em. Love you.

  80. L.... H....

    Damn 😔

  81. G.... L....

    i cry every FUCKING TIME

  82. L.... M....

    My ex cheated on but now we're both in separate relationships but I still love him and it's been fucking with me a lot lately anf he's been sending mixed signals but her will never know how worthless and unloved I felt. He'll never see the things I had to watch for months. I almost killed myself over him but the worst part is if he asked for a 2nd chance I'd still give it to him.

    L.... M....

    Girl just work on u be happy dont let anyone get u down

    L.... M....

    I don't understand how there are girls willing to let go a cheating meanwhile here we are some folks with a disturbing fear to tell a girl we like her

    L.... M....

    He's not good enough for you. Why would you settle for Copper when your worth more then a diamond? You'll find someone better, because people like you deserve it. You'll be okay one day, just remember patience is rewarded.

  83. O.... A....

    I wanna cry

  84. I.... F....

    My life resumed

  85. M.... G....

    I HATE LOVING--NEEDIND-&-WANTING SOMEONE SO MUCH--KNOWING THAT THEY WILL NEVER FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT ME,IT MAKES ME THE BIGGEST FOOL IN THE WORLD,

    M.... G....

    Ikr lol

    M.... G....
