I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal
Somebody to know
Somebody to have
Somebody to hold
It's easy to say
But it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain

Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
Now, I need somebody to know
Somebody to heal
Somebody to have
Just to know how it feels
It's easy to say but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape

Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
I fall into your arms
I'll be safe in your sound til I come back around

For now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

But now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

The video, which tells a story of a family whose mother is in need of a heart transplant, shows a husband nursing his ill wife who ends up being the donor for the mother, giving her heart to her so she can live. It raises awareness for the organ donation charity Life Life Give Life.

Speaking out on the single, Capaldi announced: “I wanted to do something a bit different to what I had before and try take the opportunity to raise awareness for something that I thought was deserving.

"Coincidentally, while working on the video, I received a message from a fan of my music, Jim who is currently on the organ transplant list himself. For me, this solidified how important it is to try and raise awareness for this subject in order to help Jim and the many others just like him.”

Lewis also talked about THAT relation to famous actor Peter Capaldi, known for his roles in TV Shows ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘The Thick of It’.

“Despite being related, prior to the video I’d only met Peter once when he came along to a show of mine in London last year.” Lewis said of working with BAFTA award-winning actor Peter Capaldi “It was such a massive honour getting to work with him and director, Phil Beastall on it over the two days we shot. He’s absolutely incredible in the video and I’m so proud of how It turned out.”
