Smith, James - Rely On Me Lyrics






I'm pickin' up at 2 a.m.
You could've called any one of your thousand friends
But you can only be real with me
I'm twenty minutes late for work
Still crossin' town so that I can see you first
You're a habit I need
Somebody to hold, somebody to talk to
Keep playin the roles the way I'm supposed to

You still rely on me, and I still rely on you
For things that we shouldn't
You still rely on me, and I'm doing everything
That I said I wouldn't

Oh, so what the hell are we doin'?
If we carry on, we're gonna end up with bruises
'Cause you think that I'm gonna catch your fall
But I'm not there anymore
Oh, you laid your cards on the table
You wanna be alone and you're done with the labels
Enable to let me go
You're just like me, oh baby, I know
You need someone to hold, somebody to talk to
Keep playing the roles the way I'm supposed to

You still rely on me, and I still rely on you
For things that we shouldn't
You still rely on me, and I'm doing everything
That I said I wouldn't

You still rely on me, and I still rely on you
Still rely on you
I still rely on you
You still rely on me
I still rely on you

Smith, James Rely On Me Comments
  1. a.... m....

    just thinking about my non existent ex bf because i've never been in love and this song just hits so hard, delusional-hard.

  2. N.... �....

    I love u so much, James

  3. G.... S....

    James Smith is so underrated. He deserves the world.

    G.... S....

    Gyzeil Swift but the world doesn’t deserve him..

  4. P.... L....

    Love this song. repeat mode on ❤️❤️

  5. R.... A....

    Meu Deus que voz incrível

  6. J.... A....

    I remembered finding you that lonely night, tired of this world. It was a month since he left you but you were still broken to pieces and no one's even listening, you were shouting the whole time. I saw your worth, I picked up all the broken pieces, tried to fix you. Showered you with every love, affection, time and effort I could give at that time. It was 2 whole months of long nights talking and hearing you laugh and feeling your happiness again made me realized it was the best decision I made my whole life so far. Finding you when you didn't even want to be noticed, hearing you when you weren't even talking, holding you when no one's even trying. Best 2 months of my life.

    It was 2 months of relying on me. Even if you have hundreds of friends back then to talk to, it was this stranger that made you feel love again. Made you see what your worth really is. Made you feel all the things you deserve to feel.

    Then he came back. All the words we said and done, just turned into nothing. He was good cause he got you back and now he owns you again. Now he made you forget me, he made sure I won't exist in your life anymore. No pictures, no text conversations, no chats, no recordings, what's left of me now is that gift you received from me. The rose inside a glass dome, shining with bright lights, lasting forever.

    I'm happy. I'm sad. Now I don't even exist in you anymore, after all I did to make you feel my kind of love. I just wish he makes you happy this time. To makes you feel the worth you finally see in yourself. I also wish he won't break you again, cause I won't be there. I won't be there to be relied to anymore. Thank you, for being my everything.

    ❣️❣️❣️❣️

  8. N.... F....

    i didn't mean to make this happened. maybe you sad or angry because everything looks gray.. same babe,i feel it too.. that's rite we stole each other's hearts, not just me stole yours. but don't you know that you stole mine too? I'm afraid if i will lose you someday, that's why im afraid to start everything. You are my friends, but i think it's not the right time to start everything. I'm just scared,im not ready if im losing you one day. I just want everything like this, just like this:(

    I'm picking up at 2 AM
    You could have called any one of a thousand friends
    But you can only be real with me
    I'm 20 minutes late for work
    I'm still crossing town so I can see you first
    A habit, I need...

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Somebody to hold, somebody to talk to
    Keep playing the roles that we're not supposed to

    [Chorus]
    You still rely on me
    And I still rely on you
    For things that we shouldn't
    You still rely on me
    When I'm doing everything
    That I said I wouldn't

    [Verse 2]
    Oh, so what the hell are we doing?
    If we carry on, we're gonna end up with bruises
    'Cause you think that I'm gonna catch your fall
    But, I'm not there anymore
    Oh, you lay your cards on the table
    You wanna be alone and you're done with the labels
    Enable to let me go
    You're just like me, oh, baby I know


    [Pre-Chorus]
    You need somebody to hold, somebody to talk to
    Keep playing the roles that we're not supposed to

    [Chorus]
    You still rely on me
    And I still rely on you
    For things that we shouldn't
    You still rely on me
    When I'm doing everything
    That I said I wouldn't

    [Bridge]
    Oh-ooh, ah
    Yeah, ooh
    Ooh

    [Outro]
    You still rely on me and I still rely on you
    Still rely on you, I still rely on you
    You still rely on me, I still rely on you

    This is the same place where the music video of RagNBone Man's song "Human" was shot.

  79. M.... T....

    I thought I can rely on him! But he cant choose me. I needed to let him go to choose her for me. And that is the fucking painful thing that I have done this year 💔💔

  80. F.... h....

    If you play this acoustic version and the original version together, something magical will happen, god it's beautiful, the flow is exactly the same, it creates a whole new melody just by combining these two versions

  81. a.... m....

    i love his voice

  82. �.... ....

    He could've just start OOOOOHHHHing from the very beginning and it will still be a great song

    aaaw man, this song hits me right in my feel. I guess because the lyric just somehow reflects my situation. I had a crush for this one girl 7-8 years ago back to the time when I was in high school. However, we haven't talked or met until the last couple years. We spent nights to facetime together. Our convo sometimes last until 5-6 in the next morning. But here's the catch. During that time, about 2 years ago, she was going back and forth with her ex. Things between them got pretty messy and she was under some stress so she needed a "best friend" to talk to. And of course, I was that guy, tbh, I chose to become that guy. Every night, we talked and watched netflix, anime, etc. together (on our own tv and laptops cuz we're far from each other) until she fell asleep on the phone, but she never let me hang up the call after she slept. I know it's hella weird but somehow I end up enjoying guarding her sleep, even though she's a snorer. I just left the phone there by myself until I fell asleep as well. At that moment, I found peace, I realized really I liked her. I was willing to be there so she could rely on me and I hope I could rely on her also. She was something special to me and I know I was special to her too, or at least she made me think that way. She even admitted that she never met someone that she could be open up and talk about anything like me. I know it sucked because she just wanted to stay friends and I was okay with that. I just didn't get it why she always kept me closer, closer than a "normal friend" should be. All the late night calls at 2-3 am, all the time she cried on the phone and only wanted me to cheer her up, all the stories I had to tell to help her easier fall asleep. Not gonna lie, I was very happy to be there for her, but at the same time, I was hurting myself like hell with all of the confusion. So I decided to let myself go, let her go. I told her everything, how I felt and what I gonna do.
    After quite a long time of keeping distance, we started to talk again and she wanted to be friends again (she asked me if I'm over all of those things and ready to become friends again or not). A part of me want to give it another shot to be her friend or something even more than that, you know when people are in love, they always fantasize about the happy ending. But at the same time, I'm worried that I would stuck in that "game" again because it's just the way she is (not like she intentionally wants to hurt me). I'd love to be there to make her feel safe, happy but I can't do that if I can't love myself, even worse I would end up hurting her anyway. Maybe we're just not a good match, I guess I should continue keeping distance.

    P.... N....

    omg you relate to me so muchh .He said i was the one there for him and could understand him through the pain that he endure after he was broken hearted. We were only friends to began with , no hard feelings.We spend many times together , laughing , watching movies and all. Without I realized , my affection towards him keep growing as i always taking care of him eventhough i know he want to stay as friend. I know i shouldn't fall for him as he only saw me as a "friend" yet i can't help myself for falling for him more deeper and deeper until i realized it was too painful for me to handle.It only end up hurting me to love him this hard now.

    P.... N....

    Kurayami Akuma although we end up hurting ourselves, at least we healed them, the ones we care right?? Maybe one day there is someone will be there and heal us the way we did to the others, and it would be better if we could just heal ourselves. I hope you would feel better soon, my friend
