"How To Cry" lyrics - SAM SMITH

SAM SMITH
"How To Cry"

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
I keep secrets from my family
All the ways you've 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 never you
Who lit the fire, burnt the whole house down

[Chorus:]
'Cause nobody taught you how to cry
But somebody showed you how to lie
All of the feelings that you don't show
Are all of the reasons to let go

[Post-Chorus:]
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
I keep secrets from my friends at home
So embarrassed, I've been so alone
God, I'm over me protecting you

[Chorus:]
'Cause nobody taught you how to cry
But somebody showed you how to lie
All of the feelings that you don't show
Are all of the reasons to let go

[Post-Chorus:]
I know I got nothing left
I know I got nothing left, no
I know I got nothing left, mmm
I know I got nothing left, mmm
