No Peace

Sam Smith

I see you in the morning

Feel your fingers in my hair

Sometimes I still pretend you're there

It hits me without warning

Your reflection walking by

But I know it's only in my mind

Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missing?

Won't you give me the part of myself that I can't get back?

Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missing?

'Cause I'd kill for you

And darling you know that

So I'll light up a cigarette

I'll drink it down 'til there's nothing left

'Cause I sure can't get no sleep

And Lord knows there's no relief

You held my heart in your fingertips

So now I drown in my bitterness

Oh, I can't get no sleep

And I sure won't, I sure won't find no peace

No peace

All that I am asking

Is for a little clarity

That's all that really matters to me

In and out of focus

Tears are in my eyes

We're burning down the bridges this time

Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missing?

Won't you give me the part of myself that I can't get back?

Will you show me the piece of my heart I've been missing?

'Cause I'd kill for you

And darling you know that

So I'll light up a cigarette

I'll drink it down 'til there's nothing left

'Cause I sure can't get no sleep

And Lord knows there's no relief

You held my heart in your fingertips

So now I drown in my bitterness

Oh, I can't get no sleep

And I sure won't, I sure won't find

I used to find comfort in your arms

Caught up in the wonder of your charms

I'll cry for you, I'll cry for you

I'd lie for you, I'd lie for you

But I don't even know you anymore

So I'll light up a cigarette

I'll drink it down 'til there's nothing left

'Cause I sure can't get no sleep

And Lord knows there's no relief

You held my heart in your fingertips

So now I drown in my bitterness

Oh, I can't get no sleep

And I sure won't, I sure won't find no peace

Sure won't find no peace

Will you give me the piece

Will you give me the piece of my heart?

Will you give me the piece

Will you give me the piece of my heart?
