[Verse 1]
I've been sleeping with the lights on
Cause the darkness is surrounding you
This is my world, this is my choice
And you're the drug that gets me through

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been waiting for an answer
Because I built this bed for two
I'm just hanging on your answer
I built this bed for me and you

[Chorus]
Can't you see that I am yours?
So will you be my life support?
You're my life support
You're my life support

[Verse 2]
Sick of waking up in darkness
When the sky is always painted blue
There's a method to my madness
It’s clear that you don’t have a clue

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been waiting for an answer
Because I built this bed for two
I'm just hanging on your answer
I built this bed for me and you

[Chorus]
Can't you see that I am yours?
So will you be my life support?
You're my life support
You're my life support

[Outro]
Can't you see that I am yours?
So will you be my life support?
I've been sleeping with the lights on
Cause the darkness is surrounding you

Sam Smith

Sam Smith was born on 19th May 1992 and grew up in a rural village on the border of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, the nearest town being Bishops Stortford. They’re the oldest of three siblings and are said to be close to their younger sisters. Their mother is a successful City of London trader and their father a stay-at-home dad who brought up the children.

Smith showed an early talent for singing, and their parents responded by arranging singing lessons from the age of eight with professional jazz singer and songwriter, Joanna Eden. At the early age of seventeen, they left school to pursue their dream, living in a small one-bed flat and working in a London pub, but ended up isolated and beset by loneliness.

Sam knew they were gay, they said, for as long as they could remember. They suffered bullying at school and were shocked to find that even in London—close to gay communities—they were subjected to homophobic attacks. These negative experiences, combined with an inherently emotional nature, inform their songwriting and delivery. The soulful, beautifully rich tone of their voice and the subject of the lyrics ‘speak’ to many people and have led to their success.
