In a time filled with problems, it's nice to hear Sam's calming voice again.

[XotamaroX]

ok but can we also discuss how AMAZING those back-up singers are???? the harmonies I die

[solarsatori]

As James Corden said on carpool karaoke "this is a voice I will listen to for the rest of my life."

[MichelleC]

I applaud both this beautiful performance and Stephen's pronoun usage. ♥

[dattatreyasengupta]

The peeps at THE LATE SHOW are doing everything to keep us entertained in this hard time. Appreciate it.

[JohnAeronCaiga]

Sam's live performances always sound like the studio version. The voice is just unreal! 🤯

[lbbnvye]

They are an amazing singer! I’m so glad they came out with another album.. yay!

[tatachan]

Sam has a heavenly voice, I'm sure heaven will sound like this

[caitlinbriggs]

They are so ridiculously talented. Love Sam.

[Twospiritautisticartist]

So happy to hear their voice again, and so happy that Stephen used Sam's proper pronouns 💚

( It's THEY/THEM)

[Atharvathunder]

Been listening to Sam since their song "I'm not the only one" . Still my fav song haha

[ursaltydog]

Would everyone agree that the performance by Sam is exemplary of their talent, instead of arguing over the nonbinary pronoun? Seriously....

Have it all
Rip our memories off the wall
All the special things I bought
They mean nothing to me anymore
But to you
They were everything we were
They meant more than every word
Now I know just what you love me for (mm)

Take all the money you want from me
Hope you become what you want to be
Show me how little you care
How little you care, how little you care
You dream of glitter and gold
My heart's already been sold
Show you how little I care
How little I care, how little I care

My diamonds leave with you (mm)
You're never gonna hear my heart break (mm)
Never gonna move in dark ways (mm)
Baby, you're so cruel
My diamonds leave with you (mm)
Material love won't fool me (mm)
When you're not here I can breathe (mm)
Think I always knew
My diamonds leave with you

Shake it off
Shake the fear of feeling lost
Always me that pays the cost
I should never trust so easily
You lied to me
Lie, lied to me
Then left with my heart 'round your chest (mm)

Take all the money you want from me
Hope you become what you want to be
Show me how little you care
How little you care, how little you care
You dream of glitter and gold
My heart's already been sold
Show you how little I care
How little I care, how little I care

My diamonds leave with you (mm)
You're never gonna hear my heart break (mm)
Never gonna move in dark ways (mm)
Baby, you're so cruel
My diamonds leave with you (mm)
Material love won't fool me (mm)
When you're not here I can breathe (mm)
Think I always knew
My diamonds leave with you

Whoa, oh (diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Whoa, oh (diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Always knew
My diamonds leave with you
(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Whoa, oh (diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Whoa, oh (diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Always knew (diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)

You're never gonna hear my heart break
Never gonna move in dark ways
Baby, you're so cruel
My diamonds leave with you
Material love won't fool me
When you're not here I can breathe
Think I always knew
My diamonds leave with you

You're never gonna hear my heart break (mm)
Never gonna move in dark ways (oh)
Baby, you're so cruel (so cruel)
My diamonds leave with you (mm)
Material love won't fool me (mm)
When you're not here I can breathe (mm)
Think I always knew
My diamonds leave with you

Whoa, oh (diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Whoa, oh (diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Always knew
My diamonds leave with you
(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Whoa, oh (diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Whoa, oh (diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Always knew
My diamonds leave with you
