Lyrics:
You walked into the room and now my heart has been stolen
You took me back in time to when I was unbroken
Now you're all I want
And I knew it from the very first moment
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories
Can I be him?
I heard there was somone but I know he don't deserve you
If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you, no, no
I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips
It's all that I've been thinking about
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Oh, can I, can I be him?
Won't you sing it again?
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?
Oh, sing it again, yeah
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there, will you be there?
Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories
Can I be him
Can I be him
Can I be him
Can I be him?
#JamesArthur #CanIBeHim #PopMusic - Hudba
All his songs sound like a soundtrack to an epic love story!
James Arthur Elite I'm crying😭.What a fitting story to the song!!
Jeff Mirende his got a song on his first album Called "Suicide" and you think that all his songs make up one big love story
All his songs that have been released so far.Let me check the album out.
Jeff Mirende love this comment ahah
Jeff Mirende agreed
James Arthur is a different kind of talent.
hana clearwater yeah and there's no way to describe it it's perfection
hana clearwater he HAS talent. Sometimes we confuse something else with talent.
appriciate dude
no way he is. tot he had a wife
Lunar Revel he is not gay he just got back with his ex named Jessica.
2024 everyone?
Me!
Iam here
Here
Yess❤
Here!
6 years and its still on repeat for me. Like broooo, James Arthur is ♡
Reall ❤
everytime james arthur sings its full of emotion I wanna cry to this song
raven nicole sanchez dude i cried so much to say you won't let go and still listen to it although I've never been in a relationship ever xD
same
Whatever I'm a girl not a dude
Yeah he's kind of like that boyfriend that makes u feel loves everyday , even when u already know he loves you
Oshini Perera I love this song.
james arthur is so damn underrated.
Kepala bana kau.
Siti Safiah kau dh kenapa?
Siti Safiah mintak cucuk ni 😂
hidup najib !!!
Kate Chizemar she's better then some bigger artists
The memories. I used to sing this to her. Now it's been two years since I've heard her voice or seen her face. I can still feel the heartache grow from the depths of my chest to the back of my throat. Like it's suffocating. I just hope she's happy and loved.
What happened?
I love singing specially James Arthur songs x
N..S,N,
Dude, that deep
Imagine she’s getting screwed by a lot of guys 😂 dw I’ve been where you are this is the best way to forget her
A message to future generations: don't let this song die. Masterpiece!
Fr
Tenho 13 anos sou completamente apaixonada por músicas deles liberta muitooooo
i hope in 10 years from now i won't need to come back to this video and comment "i miss the old Arthur". i love him since his audition ❤
definitely
it'd been five years already, five left🥺
@@sandilembekwa7142 fr
Just 5 more years my guy. Hope you still doing fine.
This is gonna age well 😮💨
Underrated song.
Alex a good underrated song.
Very underrated
Very
2022/2023 and it still in my top five favorite songs ever
Thanks Arthur.🙏
2024? yes, I found this piece that describe my feelings years back. I'm healed now, but James was a great artist. Doesn't have to be broken to love this
who else is loving this guy since his first audition in the x factor ? The best of the best
Youth loved him since I heard him cover wreaking ball in 2013
Youth same. I love his voice since his "Impossible" cover. it's still better than the original I swear tho
Still here after this years
Me! Didn't know Tulisa's song, so my 'judgement' was on James alone & I thought he was fantastic in that audition and throughout the competition! Now he just seems to get better on a daily basis
He got a really solid fan base and we're apart of it
I do not know if there are people who think like me, that every James Arthur's song gives a very deep emotion. Many other great singers but James really made me dissolve in the atmosphere of the song. I mean, I really feel like I'm in the story of his songs even though I'm not feeling that way.
yass❤
I completely Agree.
Yeah I agree!
rusdi , thats true bro
his raspy voice goes so well with the lyrics he writes
perfect!
2024 anyone?
Yep
Here
Songs are timeless
🥰🫠🫠
We're here❤
3:11 my favorite clip🥺
Imagine James Arthur and Lewis Capaldi made a song together..
Fr!
with ed sheeran :O
This is the best comment I've seen!!!
Gold
Don't forget Dean Lewis too
Britain has got some amazing talents:
James Arthur
Sam Smith
Oasis
The Cranberries
Ed Sheeran
The Beatles
Queen
Adele
Coldplay
Lewis Capaldi
Arctic Monkeys
The Rolling Stones
Pink Floyd
Harry Styles
Callum Scott 🇬🇧
agreed! UK is the best! :)
Don't put coldplay on that list they are on another level.
Edna Jacobo hey yuy
Ikr
Harry styles....
3:10 Oh my gosh, I always cannot get enough of his voice within this next minute!!!
James, I think you don't realise how big impact your words can have on someone. Your songs helped me multiple times when I was fighting with my own problems... your voice is such a healer. Thank you , you're an angel ❤
It makes no fucking sense how beautiful his voice is.... OMG😍😍😍😍
This combination of tattoos (aka bad) and beautiful eyes and singing such an amazing song = perfection
Ikr 😍😍 such a beautiful eyes!
Eiii vc! Pessoinha q não conheço vc merece toda a felicidade desse mundo ❤️

Great job!
Every single song of his makes me cry damn it!

jacky hi

What a beautifully written song James! Been following you since the X-factor days! You inspire the world with your music! I make music on my channel as well! Thank you for being someone we can all look up too!
Wow checked out your channel!! Really well done dude!
Lifebychelly Beautiful voice well done keep it going 👍👍👍
Lyna Lyna - Thank you so much for your kind words! And thank you for taking the time to check out my music! It is great to know that James inspires us both!
wow nice voice, keep it going
Lifebychelly Same here bro
This song touch my heart in ways I can’t even describe. 4 years later & it still one of my favorites! Your voice & the way you create your music videos… it’s pure magic! You are so talented, raw, pure & talented! Thank you James❤️
Thank you so much for your support and love 💕. How are you doing and how long have you been a supportive fan of me?
@@JamesArthur-ww4ibyour not James. ,😂
this is the first song I fell in love with after Say You Wont Let Go. Such a masterpiece!!!
most underrated song
breey so god damn true
And artist.. he deserves much more credit
he deserves more.
Kiko Castillo Agree!!!
😏 This just came out 9 fucking hours ago.
Can you imagine a song with James Arthur, Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran??!!
Anyone else think they should make it happen!??
EDIT: Or John Legend
Khalin Davis that would make my entire year!!
Khalin Davis that would make my life complete!
Khalin Davis I've been waiting for that for YEARS!
Khalin Davis I was litteraly thinking the same thing right before I saw this
same lol
"If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you." Gets me everytime. Damn💛💛🇰🇪🇰🇪
He is definately a generational TALENT. His music is pure and fresh and not just another copy-paste music .
His music is definately soulful and cool at the same time.
His music is 100 times better than Other mainstream artists .
"I heard there was someone but I know he don't deserve you. If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you."
Damn right in the feels 💔😭
In the song Arthur says "he don't". Please remember music allows for creativity, although correct spoken english would be "he doesn't".
Dylan Alma you're actually right but I didn't notice it until you pointed it out 😂 thanks anyway 😊
DEEP
+Dylan Alma in music there's what you call spoken poetry where artists express their songs in a catchy way. like in shape of you " we push and pull like a magnet do" the right one is "magnet does". but nevertheless music is free and you can write your own lyrics whatever you want.
Yeah but the video doesn't really fit the lyrics there. The guy seems to make her happy and therefore I think he DOES deserve her...
Who else is listening to this in 2021?🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Me
Yah ! Me all the time
I listen to this song on repeat in my car
Me never stop listening to his songs daily. I live n breath this guy there isn't a day i dont see or hear him or ready his book. Obsessed isnt the word i adore him and all he is. My ideal man is James Arthur his birthday is two days before mine and im two years older. The love i feel for this guy is mental n very much really shame he wouldn't notice me in a crowded room. But i can dream n i do alot xxxxx
Meeee
i can’t stop listening to his voice 😩
Very very talented individual.
I really admire the potential of James Arthur
He puts feeling in all his songs like no other artist does
Lukitas - Adele...
Lukitas that's true!!!!!!
Have you heard Sam Smith
the script..
ed sheeran
I think this song literally broke my heart. Everytime I listen it's like it's for the first time
I love James Arthur ❤ he's amazing
Listening to this song everyday for the past weeks, this man really knows how to put all his emotion into music.
The album has been out for a long time now
David Cavill yess right
Павел Зотов I never said otherwise..
That wasn't a reply to your message. Guy deleted his comment where he wondered how could you hear this song before if it was released today
Павел Зотов ah, I see.
his voice is totaly sexy calming and overwhelming
agil nirma No!
CZcams Stalker explain me why no
agil nirma cause his voice is sincere 😍
you just read the 'sexy' , but i said they're calming and overwhelming to
Man I miss her so much I listen this song to remember the good time I love her it just sucks to be her guy best friend it just hurts that just more
This song reminds me of the person I love but he's gone☺️❤️
There's no way to hear James Arthur without dropping a tear! 😢
Jofre Official unless you've cried so much that you physically can't cry anymore...
Soul's Wrath amen to that
unless u have the most sensitive heart in this world yet u never show , seriously I can't cry but when I'm touched I have this feeling in my heart
This
All that has happened to James In his past. Has built him up to this talent and theese songs.i love him, he is actually talented unlike some of the famous pop artists
Yes!! He's so talented! He deserves to be so much more famous.
Brooke Snipes BROOOOOOOKE
Willie L he may not be famous, but some of his songs have more views than Justin beiber or dj khaled. It's just like ed sheeran, these events happened in his past and he uses them for inspiration for his songs. He should be much more famous
Hell ya he is
I love him since his audition
I love this song and this video is just amazing! The train is such a good metaphor for life. People come and go and some aren't going to be with us the whole journey. They have to leave but then when they leave it opens up a spot for new people who will stay with us. And maybe one of those people will be our long term partner.
This song is truly beautiful.
Awwwwww yoru songs are so so cute
This song made me speachless I love it
This boy is really something special his songs are just so beautiful and have so much emotion
Sabin Lamsal hello
The lyrics are amazing too. I even made a lyric video for it lol
"Don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head"
Its just me or not?
Well,i think so
YES OMGGGGGG
Extension - said the same thing dude. 100% sounds alike.
i also think of the same thing man!
yes blink 182

His artistic genius and depths are extraordinary. The emotions he elicit from each song is unparalleled and I hope he remains the same. This kind of talent comes once in a lifetime.
*my awesome music taste brought me here*
LEVEL 11 my life
Story time:))
So I met this girl (we’ll call her Cass),and she was great. We were dating for the longest time, and I found this song about that time.
I’d listen to it and I knew in my heart that it was our song. We’d listen to it together, plan our future, and things were looking amazing, but everything changed.
She changed her love for me like clothes, and before I knew it Cass was gone. Countless memories, timeless photos, everything. I was broken.
But there was someone on the sidelines, someone I forgot to tell you about. This person (we’ll call her Amy) helped me when I didn’t know what to say to Cass. Amy helped me plan things, she gave me advice, and she was a great friend. I’d go as far as to say she was my best friend.
Before Cass was in the picture Amy was the person I went to with my issues, and whenever I was in a bind she was there to help me out. She sacrificed herself to make sure I was okay.
After everything happened with Cass and I was alone with my thoughts, I got to thinking. What is love? Love is not selfish, nor is it conceded. Love is never failing. It stays when everyone else disappears. Love is sacrificial. Love is powerful. Sound familiar?
This whole time I thought I knew who I was singing that song for, memorizing every note and key, but she was right under my nose the whole time.
Fast forward about two years, myself and Amy are coming up on our one year anniversary and I can say with full confidence that I found her.
I’m telling this story because if you’ve ever had your heart ripped in two or if you’re in that situation right now, that right person for you is just around the corner. It might take time, but that person has been waiting just as long as you have. You will find that person, or if it’s like my case, they’ll find you.
Hope everyone has an amazing year

Shan Yoon got tu
His voice always been beautiful since his first audition to be a singer 😫😍😍😍
James is just speaking to my soul in this one. I have been listening from the release, I keep revisiting the song and it has the same effect each time.
This song deserves more than 100M views
Kaloina yes that was right but he is not that famous right.. that's why this song are not more than 100m views but just wait then
Danial Norizan say you won't let go has 380m
@@Daniel-gt3tz Yes... agree! He is amazing!
his song is truly beautiful I love this
I like his songs and the emotion in his voice, he is second only to Ed Sheeran. Love them both.
Jennifer Machin yes truly amazing! I love him

Brandon Chou he does what his fans want!
Brandon Chou mhmm

This guy OMG he is just amazing. So underrated. I honestly listen to every word he sings. He will be around for a very long time. A true talent. I want to see him live so badly
long live the king best voice in the world imo who agrees?😏
homme inconnu
yes absolutely.
jort i knew you would be here😇
homme inconnu Yes. Ed Sheeran and Tori Kelly too and others who make amazing songs like this ❤
I completely agree, when I'm asked whose voice I'd say is closest to perfect, I pull up his acoustic version of Impossible
Ed
2022 and this song still hit me like that train😩
James pours his heart out when he sings ❤️
i like his eyelashes ...
Who doesn't?
Kim Miu He has eyelashes that he doesn't even need.
Kim Miu i've got envy with those
Kim Miu popmm
Nobody ever talks about how Beautiful this man Is. Voice of an Angel. Face of an Angel. 🥺❤️
cover by emma heesters/ perfect
James Arthur/ can I be him
Beautiful love songs ❤
Wawa nelson yessss 😍😍😍
Wawa nelson i just keep going back and forth
Wawa nelson TRUEEE I am so in love with the both songs❤😰
Another love song to add to the list (this is simply a suggestion) is Blink-182's "I Miss You"
Ary Timm great song but I don't quite think it matches their vibe
We all know James has an incredible voice... But can we give this man some credit on performing the hell outta this song?? He's gotten SO much more comfortable on camera in the past year or two.
This speaks to what I'm going through & most importantly, it speaks to my heart
Good song
