Lyrics:
Feeling kind of sick tonight
All I’ve had is coffee and leftover pie
It’s not wonder why

Still you take up all my mind
I don’t even think that you care like I do
I should stop
Heaven knows I've tried

One day
I will stop falling in love with you
Some day
Someone will like me like I like you

Until then I’ll drink my coffee
Eat my pie
Pretend that we are more than friends
Then of course I’ll let you break my heart again

I’m just tryna understand
What i am to you
More than songs we’ve exchanged
Midnight calls
Sunset views

Promise I don’t mean to cry
But I get overwhelmed and confused
If only you knew
What i felt like

One day
I will stop falling in love with you
Some day
Someone will like me like I like you

Until then I’ll drink my coffee
Eat my pie
Pretend that we are more than friends
Then of course I’ll let you break my heart again

Some day
One day
I will stop falling in love with you
Until I do
I’ll be thinking of you
Let you break my heart again

Performing with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra was dream 🤍 There's truly nothing that compares with singing with an orchestra, especially the one that raised me 🎻 A Night At The Symphony is out now everywhere x

[flxshii]

her voice paired with the orchestra is ANGELIC 💘

[littlelad]

BRO THE CELLIST WAS SO GOOD HIS VIRBRATO WAS JUST EVERYTGINF 😭🫶

[bagel]

Tonight it's just gonna be me, Laufey, and the Symphony💖

[jevans]

There is a richness and warmth of sound that in my opinon can only be achieved by the right orchestra paired with a great song and a sympathethic arrangement and mix of the vocals and orchestral songs. Miss Laufey's vocal quality is indicated by the fact she is not lost against the orchestra.

[ProdMariius]

I think this was the first time I’ve ever cried to one of Laufey’s song, her voice is just beautiful

[xoxo]

I already know its going to be heavenly with the orchestra

[nopethanks]

How is it possible that this girl with this beautiful voice and incredible musical talent who’s even performed with the Iceland SO wrote a song about never being romantically loved??? How could you not fall in love on the spot???

[hellthornsystem]

This orchestra. The lyrics. Her voice. It's all so divine. It's timeless. Time literally stops around them. It's radience. It's salvation. It's enriching to my experience of life and i never knew i needed it.

[lucytang]

laufey + symphony orchestras are the best combination to exist

When I first experienced anxiety attacks paired with self-harm thoughts, I tried to calm myself by keeping busy. Once, I attempted to distract myself by taking a bath and thinking of random things, hoping to calm down which unfortunately didn't work. My anxiety attack intensified so I stopped everything, closed my eyes tightly, and leaned against the cold bathroom wall, inhaling and exhaling deeply. Coincidentally, Laufey’s “Let You Break My Heart” was playing on my phone at that time, and I found that it helped me calm down. So, whenever I feel an episode coming, I listen to it. When I fortunately stopped having anxiety attacks (though I still get them occasionally, not as frequently as before, when they used to occur on a daily basis), I was scared to listen to this song again because it reminds me of my anxiety attacks, and I was afraid that the song would trigger them.

Those worries are gone now since I finished this video without triggering an attack. I wasn't even anxious in the slightest.

Thank you, Laufey, for gifting us with your wonderful songs and voice. I can’t speak on other people’s behalf, but please know that your voice and song have saved someone. Please continue spreading your magic to people through your songs.

"One day, I will stop falling in love with you, some day, someone will like me like I like you"
That verse sounds so dreamful and full of hope, and yet

[viennawoodscarnot]

I heard this song in my climbing gym. It was so beautiful. Then I googled and found Laufey is Yaoji Lin’s granddaughter. Lin is so well known in China for his virtuoso in violin. And I love the classical element in Laufeys song. ❤

[bee_whisper]

i stumbled on this song and its haunting, feels so poetic like someone has been plucked from the 1950s and written modern day jazz in an old style .

[gem]

Tears rolling down my face…. The shock of surprise discoverying this voice, this song, the words, this music, this orchestration. Not expecting this and the effect it had on me. Am now totally addicted to this wonderful artist.

Let You Break My Heart Again
Laufey

Feeling kind of sick tonight
All I’ve had is coffee and leftover pie
It’s no wonder why

Still, you take up all my mind
I don’t even think that you care like I do
I should stop
Heaven knows I've tried

One day
I will stop falling in love with you
Some day
Someone will like me like I like you
Until then, I’ll drink my coffee
Eat my pie
Pretend that we are more than friends
Then, of course, I’ll let you break my heart again

I'm just tryna understand
What I am to you
More than songs we’ve exchanged
Midnight calls
Sunset views

Promise, I don’t mean to cry
But I get overwhelmed and confused
If only you knew
What I felt like

One day
I will stop falling in love with you
Some day
Someone will like me like I like you

Until then, I’ll drink my coffee
Eat my pie
Pretend that we are more than friends
Then of course I’ll let you break my heart again

Some day
One day
I will stop falling in love with you
Until I do
I’ll be thinking of you
Let you break my heart again

if any song was meant to ascend you to the heavens, it's definitely this one...

hope anyone listening is also delightfully rising to a better place <3

[ReadingintheRain]

I'm supposed to be studying social studies, but here I am crying over this wonderful masterpiece. Will I fail my class? Yes. Is it worth it? Y E S.

[huangrenjunism]

all of the performances from the live symphony series are just so incredible. this is exactly what i needed from laufey

[idontwantahandlethough]

You know a song is special when you hear it and you have _no idea_ when it could have come out; could have been last year, could have been over half a century ago.
Timeless :)
