Sam Smith - Gloria Album Lyrics

Have you ever felt like being somebody else?
Feeling like the mirror isn't good for your health?
Every day I'm tryin' not to hate myself
But lately, it's not hurting like it did before
Maybe I am learning how to love me more

It used to burn, every insult, every word
But it helped me learn self-worth I had to earn
So I tried every night to sit with sorrow
And eventually, it set me free

Have you ever felt like being somebody else?
Feeling like the mirror isn't good for your health?
Every day I'm tryin' not to hate myself
But lately, it's not hurting like it did before
Maybe I am learning how to love me more

Just a little bit (love me more)
Just a little bit (love me more)
Oh no (love me more)
Just a little bit (love me more)

I used to cry myself to sleep at night
I'd blame the sky when the mess was in my mind
I couldn't see, I couldn't breathe, so I sat with sorrow
And eventually, it set me free (oh no)

Have you ever felt like being somebody else?
Feeling like the mirror isn't good for your health?
Every day I'm tryin' not to hate myself
But lately, it's not hurting like it did before (futile)
Maybe I am learning how to love me more

Just a little bit (love me more)
Just a little bit (love me more)
I'm gonna try to (love me more)
With a little bit of love (love me more)

Yeah (love me more)
(Love me more)
Just a little bit (love me more)
Love me more (love me more)

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Gonna love me more) gonna love me more, yeah
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Gonna love me more) yeah-yeah-yeah
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Gonna love me more) gonna love me more
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh, gonna love me more

Eh
Whoa
Mmm

When you tell me what's on your mind
I don't know how you sleep at night, mmm
Why do you have to be in control?
When you're wrong, baby, let it go

Just because it's your opinion doesn't make it right
I say it 'cause I care for you
I'm tryin' to be there
Wanna meet you halfway, baby, you just wanna fight
I say it 'cause I care for you
I say it 'cause I care

You're no God, you're no leader
You're no saint, you're no teacher
You're no God (ain't nobody wanna hear your voice)
You're no God (ain't nobody's gonna save you, save you)
You're no God (give up)
You're no leader (repent)
You're no saint (shut up)
You're no teacher (that's enough)
You're no God (ain't nobody wanna hear your voice)
No God (ain't nobody's tryna save you, save you)

You so openly use your voice
They're your words, baby, it's your choice (baby, it's your choice)
Are you really so scared to lose?
Baby, what are you trying to prove?

You're no God (give up)
No teacher (wake up)
You're no saint (shut up)
No leader (that's enough)
You're no God (ain't nobody wanna hear your voice)
No God (ain't nobody's tryna save you, save you)
You're no God (give up)
You're no teacher (wake up)
You're no saint (shut up)
You're no leader (that's enough, now)
You're no God (ain't nobody wanna hear your voice)
No God, no God (ain't nobody's tryna save you, save you)

No, I'm never gonna change your mind
Try and see it from the other side
Somewhere between wrong or right, mmm
I know you're tryna heal the world
You're only tryna prove your worth
Oh, baby, just watch your words

You're no God, you're no teacher (no, no, no, no, no)
You're no saint, you're no leader (no, no, no, no, no)
You're no God (no, no, no, no, no)
You're no God (you-ou are no God)
You're no God, you're no teacher (no, no, no, no, no)
You're no saint, you're no leader (no, no, no, no, no)
You're no God (no, no, no, no, no)
You're no God (you-ou are no God)

(You think you're hot right now, you are no God)
(Might be on top right now, but you are no God) no God
(You think you're hot right now) so hot right now
(But you are no God) no God
(Might be on top right now, but you are no God) no God

Having to lie
I'd feel that this is the saddest
And the ugliest part of being a homosexual
When you have your first bad love experience, for instance
And you can't go to your brother
Or your sister and say, "I'm hurting"

You say you're packing your bags
This isn't what I thought "Forever" would be
You're walking out so casually
How could you give up on us like that?

You say you're feeling the pressure
And you'd be better with me out of your life
But, baby, that ain't happening tonight
Want you to know that I'm willing to make this right

I'd be crazy if I gave you up
When you give me that unfiltered love
It is all I need
I can hardly breathe
You are what I want

Baby, I'm not ready to lose you yet
Yeah, I've tried but you know I can't forget
I'm begging you
I'm not ready to lose you
Baby, I'm not ready to lose you yet
Oh, why can't you see I got nothing left?
I'm begging you
I'm not ready to lose you, oh

Yeah, you know I would do anything, baby
To feel you back here in my arms
You bring that spiritual calm
When I'm with you, it's like nothing can go wrong

I'd be crazy if I gave you up
When you give me that unfiltered love
It is all I need
I can hardly breathe
You are what I want

Baby, I'm not ready to lose you yet
Yeah, I've tried but you know I can't forget
I'm begging you
I'm not ready to lose you
Baby, I'm not ready to lose you yet
Oh, why can't you see I got nothing left?
I'm begging you (no, I'm not)
I'm not ready to lose you

I'm not ready to lose you, whoa
(I'm not yet)
(No, I'm not) I'm not ready to lose you
Oh, oh, oh
(I'm not yet)
(No, I'm not) I'm not ready to lose you
I'm not ready to lose

I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it
I'm not perfect, but I'm working on it
I go up, I go down, I go all the way around
I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it

I used to love the nightlife
'Til the nightlife got too lonely
Might be time for the right guy
Got a feeling that it could be you
You like them crazy, do you?
I'm crazy through and through
I wear my flaws like jewelry
And I'm dripping

Yeah, I used to love the nightlife
'Til the nightlife got too boring
Might be time for the right guy, yeah
Got a feeling that it could be you
Could be you, should be you
Two plus two makes one in love
It could be us, baby, trust
I'm soft to touch, yeah

I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it
I'm not perfect, but I'm working on it
I go up, I go down, I go all the way around
I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it

Big lips, just how I like
Be brave, boy, put them on me
I go crazy in the twilight (loca)
Got a feeling like you do too (yeah)
You love that trouble, do you?
I'm trouble through and through (I'm trouble)
I wear my flaws like jewelry (jeez)
And I'm dripping

You like them crazy, do you? (Crazy)
I'm crazy through and through (through and through, yeah)
I wear my flaws like jewelry
And I'm dripping

I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it
I'm not perfect, but I'm working on it
I go up, I go down, I go all the way around (I go all the way around)
I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it

But I'm worth it (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now you know I'm not perfect
But you're the one that's worth it
Yeah, you know, yeah, you know, yeah, you know
Yeah, you know, yeah, you know
You know I'm worth it, you know I'm worth it
You know I'm worth it, you know I'm worth it
You know I'm worth it, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (mmm)

A lucky, lucky girl
She got married to a boy like you
She'd kick you out if she ever, ever knew

And how you don't know how to keep your business clean

I don't know when you're sad
I can't tell when you're mad
You've never been vulnerable
I believed you could change
But you're still the same
And I'm still invisible

I keep secrets from my family
All the ways you been controlling me
When it hurt, I didn't make a sound
All the drama that you put us through
How amazing that it's ever you
Who lit the fire, burnt the whole house down

'Cause nobody taught you how to cry
But somebody showed you how to lie
All of the feelings you don't show
Are all of the reasons to let go
I know I got nothing left
I know I got nothing left

I get that it's deep
You've never been free
You've never been satisfied
And you blame that on me
The pain you can't see
The anger you hold inside

I keep secrets from my friends at home
So embarrassed, I've been so alone
God, I'm over me protecting you

'Cause nobody taught you how to cry
But somebody showed you how to lie
All of the feelings you don't show
Are all of the reasons to let go
I know I got nothing left
I know I got nothing left
No
I know I got nothing left, mm-hmm
I know I got nothing left, mm-hmm

Mmm

Better with the lights on
We can play my favorite song
Looking at me, take one shot, two shot
Hit deeper, taste sweeter
Good but it feels wrong
I can last so long
Looking at me, take three shot, four shot
Throat heat up, get sweeter

Hmm
It's so hard, babe, loving me
I'm like a whiskey, you can feel it
Hit so strong but taste so sweet
There's no loving me, no way
You say you need me, but you don't know me
I'm the dark type, forever lonely
Hit so strong, but tastes so sweet
There's no loving me, no way

There's no loving me (no way)
There's no loving me (no way)
There's no loving me, no way, no way (no way)

I know you know what it is
I can tell you know it hits
Let your feelings go, you've been working so hard
Put the week down
Pray in a space with me, hand on my heart now

Oh, beat it up
I know how to mix it up
Let your body go with the slow as we grow with the weekend
Take five shots, six shots, oh

It's so hard, babe, loving me (it's so hard)
I'm like a whiskey, you can feel it
Hit so strong but tastes so sweet
There's no loving me, no way
You say you need me, but you don't know me
I'm the dark type, forever lonely
Hit so strong but taste so sweet
There's no loving me, no way

There's no loving me (if you love me, baby)
There's no loving me (if you need me, baby)
There's no loving me, no way, no way
There's no loving me (no way)
There's no loving me (no, no loving me)
There's no loving me, no way, no way

Demons on my shoulder
Monsters in my head
Shadow in the water
Will you be my friend?
The world revolves around me
As I lay in my bed
Dreaming of more, more

Be yourself so loud tonight (mmm, so loud)
They'll hear you from the stars (they will hear you from)
Sparkling like dynamite (sparkle)
If that is who you are (it's who you are)
A hymn for Gloria, Gloria (for Gloria)
Gloria, Gloria
Gloria, Gloria
It's all but a hymn for Gloria (it's all a hymn for Glori-Glori-, Gloria)
It's all but a hymn for Gloria (it's for Gloria)

Color the empty space
Kiss in a crowded place
Stand in the summer rain
Tangled in awkward shapes
A new, but familiar taste
You're feeling it all again

It's not wrong
To want the world for someone
It's not a feeling you can run from
'Cause we love who we love
So, let go
You don't know better than your heart knows
Whether they're here or long gone
And we love who we love
Yeah, we love who we love

Footprints along the sand
Whispers of sweet romance
Sound of a wedding band (mmm)
Holding hands in the street
No need to be discreet
Finally feeling free

It's not wrong
To want the world for someone
It's not a feeling you can run from
'Cause we love who we love
So let go
You don't know better than your heart knows
Whether they're here or long gone
And we love who we love
Yeah, we love who we love

The universe has pulled us closer
I trust whatever's brought me here to you
You can never lose
If love is what you feel then

It's not wrong
To want the world for someone
It's not a feeling you can run from
'Cause we love who we love
So let go (so let go)
You don't know better than your heart knows
Whether they're here or long gone
We love who we love
Yeah, we love who we love
