In this haunting ballad, Sam Smith explores the vulnerability and courage that come with confronting one's deepest fears in love. The lyrics suggest a protagonist who has consistently avoided emotional entanglements but now faces an unavoidable truth: the potential for a deep, meaningful connection that demands personal risk. 🌪️ The recurring question "How do I live? How do I breathe?" highlights the suffocating nature of fear and the necessity of emotional survival through love. Ultimately, the song is a poignant reflection on whether to embrace love fully, despite its risks, echoing in the metaphorical "writing's on the wall" which suggests an inevitable outcome or decision point. 🖋️ #EmotionalDepth #LoveAndRisk #SamSmith
Writing's On The Wall
Lyrics
I've been here before
But always hit the floor
I've spent a lifetime running
And I always get away
But with you I'm feeling something
That makes me want to stay
I'm prepared for this
I never shoot to miss
But I feel like a storm is coming
If I'm gonna make it through the day
Then there's no more use in running
This is something I gotta face
If I risk it all
Could you break my fall?
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
'Cause the writing's on the wall
A million shards of glass
That haunt me from my past
As the stars begin to gather
And the light begins to fade
When all hope begins to shatter
Know that I won't be afraid
If I risk it all
Could you break my fall?
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
'Cause the writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
'Cause the writing's on the wall
