[Verse 1]
I think you finally lost your mind
You went the wrong direction
It's blurred your whole perception
'Cause you're not there
Even though you say you are
You keep leaning on the stars
But they don't know who you are

[Pre-Chorus]
You say you're doing fine, it's just a phase
You just get high to numb the pain
You're lying, your eyes are not the same
It's hard to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Please come back when you're sober
'Cause I've done everything, everything I can do
I gotta draw the line, you're on your own this time
After everything, everything we've been through
I can't do this for you

[Verse 2]
You're like a car running through red lights
You've had so many warnings
Can't you see your world's about to crash down
And spin around, like satellites lost to the night? (To the night)

[Pre-Chorus]
You say you're doing fine, it's just a phase
You just get high to numb the pain
You're flying, you are not the same
You told your final lie

[Chorus]
Please come back when you're sober
'Cause I've done everything, everything I can do
I gotta draw the line, you're on your own this time
After everything, everything we've been through
I can't do this for you (This for you)

[Bridge]
Go, go, go, go
Just go, go, go, go

[Chorus]
Please come back when you're sober
'Cause I've done everything, everything I can do
I gotta draw the line, you're on your own this time
After everything, everything we've been through
I can't do this for you

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.
