- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Intro: Alicia Keys & Sam Smith]
One, two, three, four
Mm-mm, mm
Yeah
[Verse 1: Sam Smith]
You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse, hmm
And I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts, mm, yeah
For months on end, I've had my doubts
Denyin' every tear
And I wish this would be over now
But I know that I still need you near
[Chorus: Sam Smith]
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, mm, yeah
[Verse 2: Alicia Keys]
You've been so unavailable
Now, sadly, I know why
And your heart is unobtainable
Even though Lord knows you kept mine
[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
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
[Bridge: Sam Smith & Alicia Keys]
And I have loved you for many years
Maybe I am just not enough
Ooh, you've made me realise my deepest fear
By lyin' and tearin' us up
[Chorus: Sam Smith & Alicia Keys, Sam Smith]
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
[Outro: Sam Smith, Alicia Keys, Sam Smith & Alicia Keys]
And I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, I know, know
I know I'm not the only one
[Intro: Alicia Keys & Sam Smith]
The introduction sets a somber tone with minimalistic vocals and a simple count-in. It establishes a sense of intimacy and rawness, preparing the listener for the emotional journey ahead.
[Verse 1: Sam Smith]
In this verse, Sam Smith reflects on a broken vow made between him and his partner. The disbelief and hurt are evident as he mentions his doubts and tears. Despite the betrayal, he still feels a need for the partner's presence, showcasing the complexity of emotions involved in love and betrayal.
[Chorus: Sam Smith]
The chorus reveals Sam Smith's realization of his partner's infidelity. He is labeled as "crazy" for suspecting the betrayal, but the term of endearment "baby" becomes a painful reminder that he is not the only one receiving such affection, confirming his suspicions.
[Verse 2: Alicia Keys]
Alicia Keys sings about the emotional distance and unavailability of her partner. She acknowledges the painful truth behind her partner's actions and recognizes that their heart is no longer hers, even though she had given hers completely.
[Chorus: Alicia Keys]
Reiterating the sentiments of the previous chorus, Alicia Keys expresses her awareness of the betrayal. The repeated accusation of being "crazy" for knowing the truth emphasizes the gaslighting and emotional manipulation often involved in such situations.
[Bridge: Sam Smith & Alicia Keys]
In the bridge, both artists reflect on the long-term love they have given and the deep fears that have been realized through lies and betrayal. This section highlights the devastating impact of infidelity on one's self-worth and trust.
[Chorus: Sam Smith & Alicia Keys, Sam Smith]
The final chorus, sung together, reinforces the shared experience of betrayal and the painful acknowledgment of not being the only one. The duet emphasizes the collective anguish and solidarity in their heartbreak.
[Outro: Sam Smith, Alicia Keys, Sam Smith & Alicia Keys]
The outro repeats the painful acknowledgment that they are not the only ones. The repetition underscores the lingering pain and the difficulty of coming to terms with the betrayal. The song ends on a poignant note, leaving the listener with a sense of unresolved heartache.
