“I’ll never love again, I’ll never love you / ‘Cause I gave, my heart, to a goddamn fool / I gave him everything / Now there’s nothing left for you” 8), Smith told Beats 1’s Zane Lowe the song is “about a relationship I was in and it’s basically about getting good at getting dumped.” “I’m never gonna let you close to me / Even though you mean the most to me / ‘Cause every time I open up, it hurts” Stream Sam Smith's Sophomore Album 'The Thrill of It All'
