In their interview with Zane Lowe for Beats1 Radio, Sam explained that this song was written after being “dumped over the phone”. They were at home with a friend and their sister who supported them through the heartache:
And we put it on the back burner, I can think about being dumped tomorrow
The...
[Verse 1: Sam Smith]
You say that you're leavin', but I don't think I can let go
When you put the phone down, I began to cry
What are you to do when the person that you love just says no?
Boy, get yourself together, move on with your life
[Pre-Chorus: Sam Smith]
So I'm gonna play my favourite rhythm
Gotta get you out my system
I would do anything to keep you off my mind
I'm gonna have to call my sisters
Be around the ones who listen
Anything to drown you out tonight
[Chorus: Sam Smith & The Dap Kings-Horns]
Baby, you make me crazy
Why'd you have to fill my heart with sorrow?
Save me, make it all hazy
So I don't think about you 'til tomorrow
[Verse 2]
It wasn't enough, but you could've had the guts to face me
It would have meant so much if you'd looked me in the eye
Oh, why do I always fall for the ones who have no courage?
I must see some kind of beauty in their lies
[Pre-Chorus: Sam Smith]
So I'm gonna play my favourite rhythm
Gotta get you out my system
I would do anything to keep you off my mind
And then I'll have to call my sisters
Be around the ones who listen
Anything to drown you out tonight
[Chorus: Sam Smith & The Dap Kings-Horns]
Baby, you make me crazy
Why'd you have to fill my heart with sorrow?
Save me, make it all hazy
So I don't think about you 'til tomorrow
[Bridge: Sam Smith]
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Oh, no, no, no
[Chorus: Sam Smith & The Dap Kings-Horns]
Baby, you make me crazy
Why'd you have to fill my heart with sorrow?
Save me, make it all hazy
So I don't think about you 'til tomorrow
Baby, you make me crazy
Why'd you have to fill my heart with sorrow?
Save me, make it all hazy
So I don't think about you 'til tomorrow
