Lyrics:
Waking up too early
Static on the TV
Dressed in all the clothes I had on
When yesterday decided
I didn’t need to fight with the hours and the seconds no more
Doing all the things that I’m supposed to
Working everyday the way that most do
Smiling while I’m hiding what I’m going through
But you know, you know, you know

That if I’m being honest
I couldn’t tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleeping ‘cos the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret
and the things I should have said
To the ones I laid to rest
and lately, I’m terrified that all my youth is fading
man, growing old is so excruciating
is there a cure for minds unwell
‘cos my heads a living hell
If I’m honest with myself

Stumble as I’m leaving
One foot takes the lead
Second seems to struggle to find
A solitary reason to continue seeking
Any use in walking this line

Doing all the things that I’m supposed to
Working every day the way that most do
Smiling while I’m hiding what I’m going through
But you know, you know, you know

That if I’m being honest
I couldn’t tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleeping ‘cos the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret
and the things I should have said
To the ones I laid to rest
and lately, I’m terrified that all my youth is fading
man growing old is so excruciating
is there a cure for minds unwell
‘cos my heads a living hell
If I’m honest with myself
So how am I supposed to see an end
To my all consuming constant fear and dread
When I can’t even seem to make it out of bed

Yeah if I’m being honest
I couldn’t tell you this is all I wanted
I struggle sleeping ‘cos the house feels haunted
Filled with the shadows of regret
and the things I should have said
To the ones I laid to rest
and lately, I’m terrified that all my youth is fading
man growing old is so excruciating
is there a cure for minds unwell
‘cos my heads a living hell
If I’m honest with myself

    I have met Naima multiple times and can honestly say she's one of the loveliest, sweetest and most genuine people I've ever had the fortune of meeting, and we in her hometown are so proud of everything she does ❤
  • @ellemme62
    Lewis, your heart is the warm home that people are looking for.
  • @shunkadee1299
    The people who've been through hell are often the kindest and most beautiful souls.
  • @nazacru2370
    It’s amazing how Lewis chooses to tell the stories of different inspiring individuals through his music videos. How sweet. ❤️❤️
  • @eperdu6480
    La voix intense vibrant de l'intérieur s'élance à l'essence'ciel...
  • As a survivor of abuse, I feel moved. And I realize the place I'm in right now is much better than before and I'm grateful for that. Not everyone is that lucky. :'(
  • @dawnevans128
    Naima, if youre reading this, i think you f'ng ROCK. MUCH LOVE AND HUGS TO YOU AND OTHER FELLOW ABUSE SURVIVORS.
  • You know sometimes wearing a mask is so much easier than looking at yourself. That’s why I gravitate towards songs like this. The sometimes help me to show myself, albeit just for a moment. I hope Capaldi understands that songs like this can mean so much to those who lost.
  • @azdipm
    Lewis need to keep on going with this story theme video, this is really how music video should be. Bring value to the viewers.
  • @emp2801
    Well done, Mr Capaldi. Thank you for raising awareness and displaying love and courage. You continue to inspire many. ❤
  • Lewis I'm not the fangirl type saying this, but rather the guy who's marketed and managed music artists in 16 countries around the world. You really are one of the special ones. So proud of you for how far you've come, how damn talented you are and how far you've come to get where you are. You're an awesome human being.
  • @donokosun7771
    I have listened to this song many times but decided to sing it with all my heart a few days ago. As I sang along with Lewis, I could feel that there's something special behind the song. But I couldn't figure it until now that I'm seeing Naima's story. Naima's story teaches us that if we want to be happy, we should look for ways to help other people. Thanks Lewis.
  • Using your platform to share real stories is truly inspirational for a broken world and the biggest act of love ❤
  • @meep3709
    Lewis is a once in a lifetime talent, with a one in a billion heart
  • @BobiG1964
    I am almost 60 years old. A victim of too many abuses. I stay inside, away from most people. It works for me. I am happy this young lady has helped so many❤
  • naima, if there's any chance you see this -- you have a heart of pure gold. it is so amazing that you are turning your past pain and suffering into determination to make the way forward easier and kinder for people who have experienced the same violence and upheaval as you did. you are the sort of person that instills so much hope in other people, reminding them that there is compassion and care in this world still. as always, thank you, lewis, for using your phenomenal voice to lift up the stories of incredible people like naima!
  • Ooooof. I’m a 2x DV and SA survivor. I remember trying to learn how to plaster my walls to hide the abuse from people when they would come over😭 I’ve been financially ruined from the relationships and never fully financially recovered, but you can’t put a price on peace. Living paycheck to paycheck is better than having my money withheld from me, my bank accounts wiped without my knowledge, my car stolen and wrecked, and being scared to go home because I don’t know what or who awaits me on the other side of the door. Bless Lewis for using his platform to raise awareness for important causes such as this 😭
  • I couldn't click fast enough. Chills, man. This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing her story!
  • @monica-er1bc
    Naima.....a true Warrior Queen......Respect.......
  • I've been listening to Lewis Capaldi since his early days and it's incredible that each of his songs always represents a clear moment in my life. I can say that if my life were a movie, its songs would be the soundtracks.
