I personally believe that “I’m Not The Only One” by Sam Smith has to do with people breaking up from awful experiences they go through and having to be hurt all of the time. The first key idea would be a couple where one of them is being cheated on; So in the 3rd and 4th line the speaker wrote, “I can't believe you let me down But the proof's in a way it hurts” to let one know that the speaker has never been disappointed from the love of his/her life and ever since he/she confessed, their world has just been horrible and hurt. Another lyric from this song the speaker wrote about the person finding out he/she has been cheated on is “You've been so unavailable Now sadly I know why”. The second key idea would be the lover being hurt all of the time. The speaker wrote “For months on end I've had my doubts Denying every tear I wish this would be over now But I know that I still need you here”, indicating that he/she is hurt and feeling sad and hopes that from being cheated on and being left alone all of the time will end soon. The Third key idea from this song would be where the lover being cheated on, tries to have revenge. The speaker wrote “I have loved you for many years Maybe I am just not enough You've made me realize my deepest fear By lying and tearing us up You say I'm crazy 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done”, telling us that he/she have had enough of the relationship, so he/she tries to find ways to have revenge on him/her by changing their aspects of life even though the lover knows that he/she is crazy to be with the love of his/her life.
