First a new song and now a new video! Sam Smith has finally released the music video for his new single “Too Good At Goodbyes”.

We don’t know his second album’s release date yet, but it’s been promised before Christmas and will include a duet and a collaboration with Timbaland.

Sam has said that “Too Good At Goodbyes” is a song that comes straight from his personal life.

The piano ballad is off Sam Smith’s yet-untitled follow-up to 2014 debut LP, ‘In the Lonely Hour’

In a recent celebrity interview, Smith told Sir Elton John, “I was in a really bad place. I got dumped, which wasn’t very nice…So, there were moments on there where it got a bit intense and I started to lose myself.”

But even though his claim to fame is songs like  “Stay With Me” and “I’m Not the Only One,” don’t worry that the whole album is going to be down in the dumps or even all about Smith.

In an Apple Music interview, Smith said while “Too Good at Goodbyes” is one of the most personal songs on the LP, “This album actually is not all about me. There’s about four songs that are about me, and the rest are about different things and different people in my life and what they’ve gone through.”

Sam Smith – Too Good at Goodbyes
Lyrics
You must think that I’m stupid
You must think that I’m a fool
You must think that I’m new to this
But I have seen this all before

I’m never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
‘Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I’m never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don’t stand a chance, it’s sad but it’s true

I’m way too good at goodbyes
(I’m way too good at goodbyes)
I’m way too good at goodbyes
(I’m way too good at goodbyes)

I know you’re thinking I’m heartless
I know you’re thinking I’m cold
I’m just protecting my innocence
I’m just protecting my soul

I’m never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
‘Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I’m never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don’t stand a chance, it’s sad but it’s true

I’m way to good at goodbyes
(I’m way to good at goodbyes)
I’m way too good at goodbyes
(I’m way too good at goodbyes)
No way that you’ll see me cry
(No way that you’ll see me cry)
I’m way too good at goodbyes
(I’m way too good at goodbyes)

No
No, no, no, no, no (I’m way too good at goodbyes)
No, no, no, no
No, no, no (I’m way too good at goodbyes)
(No way that you’ll see me cry)
(I’m way too good at goodbyes)

‘Cause every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don’t stand a chance, it’s sad but it’s true
I’m way too good at goodbyes
