Lyrics:
I'm a book of mistakes
And it's just getting worse
Every new one I make
Is a rumour you heard
'Cause these days I'm self-destructive
The way I love
I push away every chance
'Cause it's never enough, my love

You can take the things they say
As the bitter truth
Don't throw it all away
On second hand news

'Cause if I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you
No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news

Been a broken machine
Since the day you've been gone
On a loop in a dream
Did you think I'd move on?

You can take the things they say
As the bitter truth
But don't throw it all away
On second hand news

'Cause if I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you
I'd leave it all behind
I've got nothing to lose
And I know you've heard what you've heard
But it doesn't mean it's true
No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news

Crying silent tears in the next-door room
'Cause everybody's here but you
So I wrote you out this message
But I stopped myself from sending it off

If I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you
Leave it all behind
I've got nothing to lose
And I know you've heard what you've heard
But it doesn't mean it's true
No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news

No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news

Dear Birdy, you are not creating music anymore - this is more than music. This is deeper than universe, emotional like oceans and tears. This is so pure. God bless you, Birdy! Thank you so much for your arts!!!

[claraisabelCM]

The most talented girl of her generation

[MatijaBanic]

My family thought I went nuts yesterday when they heard me clapping in my bedroom after every song :)

[frankwilson]

Birdy your song is beautiful ❤️ love Frank

[tessanm]

why is such a talented artist so underrated i'm crying

[frankwilson]

Birdy Second hand news is beautiful lady much love to you 💞 love Frank

[rlloyd]

She is not an entertainer or celebrity; she is a true artist, and in the increasingly graceless world of today, that is something to be so grateful for. In her case, somehow it has amounted to a great success, and she deserves every bit of it. She has such a beautiful soul. I can't ever imagine it going to her head.

[keshav_amit]

She can't go wrong. Has her tunes set to 100% perfection. I was wondering a collab between Kodaline and Birdy.

[emperman]

Singers are planets. Birdy is the star. She's the northern light. If i don't have anything to live for... I'll live for her songs.

[lindokuhlecebekhulu]

Anyone one reading this. I wish you the best in life>

[kskskskkskskkssks]

I get kinda nervous every time she puts out new music because I've loved all her previous creations and kinda have a high expectation.
But Birdy NEVER disappoints! She just keeps getting better and better!
Can't decide which one of these singles is my fav cuz I genuinely like them all!
Can't wait to hear the rest of the album❤️

[massimotedone]

Her voice is so smooth and calm😍😍 Birdy is unique

Verse 1]
I'm a book of mistakes
And it's just getting worse
Every new one I make
Is a rumour you heard

'Cause these days I'm self-destructive
The way I love
I push away every chance
'Cause it's never enough, my love

[Pre-Chorus]
You can take the things they say
As the bitter truth
Don't throw it all away
On second hand news

[Chorus]
'Cause if I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you
No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news

[Verse 2]
Been a broken machine
Since the day you've been gone
On a loop in a dream
Did you think I'd move on?

[Pre-Chorus]
You can take the things they say
As the bitter truth
But don't throw it all away
On second hand news

[Chorus]
'Cause if I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you
I'd leave it all behind
I've got nothing to lose
And I know you've heard what you've heard
But it doesn't mean it's true
No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news

[Bridge]
Crying silent tears in the next-door room
'Cause everybody's here but you
So I wrote you out this message
But I stopped myself from sending it off

[Chorus]
If I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you
Leave it all behind
I've got nothing to lose
And I know you've heard what you've heard
But it doesn't mean it's true
No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news

A love found.. a love gone.. and one lonely love calling back to you..
This is what I see and feel when I heard this song.. I cried..
I have always determined a good song, if I felt the song.. I never look at the singer/performer. I don't need visuals, for I have my own.. All I need is to listen, and let the song do the rest.. This song is so sad and yet beautiful.

[jeanne-margot]

i love seeing the rings she wears when they take close up shots of her hands ;
they're beautiful and she often wears the same ones, it makes me feel closer to her somehow

[nothing]

Her voice is perfect. I tried to sing her songs, but I can't sing as beautiful as Birdy😍

[ajfoztana]

Beautiful!! This would have been no 1 back in the early 90’s without a doubt. X take care dear x

[rboettger]

This Album is gonna be great. Counting the days...

[lavienlis]

She is the one who give the ethereal new musical genre a proper meaning

[youthurricane]

YOU

I am so proud to say I watched you grow in the last ten years, you voice always be my favorite of all.
You're one of kind.

Love, from Brazil.
