Lyrics:
Come on, skinny love, just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

Tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right at the moment, this order's tall

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

And in the morning, I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

And now, all your love is wasted
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lies

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
And who will fall far behind?
Come on skinny love

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Her voice is so soft, when you hear it, it's like .. Her voice melts in your ears.. My feels.

[piaxno]

This is just perfect, perfect music needs no technique. Just a piano and a Birdy.

[robertallen]

I would literally be crying at her concert from love

[daaaniphantom]

Better than the recorded version. More emotion. Absolutely love this video.

[Lindoushe]

This is beyond perfection. She has so much power and control over her voice. She’s really performing the song, like.. she’s feeling it and expressing all her emotions. It brings such intimacy, rawness and authenticity into her live performance. She’s so talented 🥹

[vivianaparedes]

Such a beautiful voice always gives me goosebumps

[radujuvina]

The only person in the music industry that has full of life, sincere songs. I'm sure that in everyday life Birdy is just like her music, wonderful!

[ayeitstay-taylordarden]

this girls voice omg. every time it gets to 2:51 I just yell "YES" bc wow. love her voice 🙌🏻

[JohnDoe-vjyy]

All misplaced feelings I ever had, all my truelly sentient desire is finding expression in almost every song she sings!
It is not quite easy for me to find somebody make me feel the way I feel by listening her voice and playing piano of course!
I have never known anybody else haunting me more!
Holy fuck, she is just so young, what will she be like in twenty years from now on? What will she sing about?
Should she ever read this, I just wanna say: "Thank you"!

[sundance]

Her version compared to Bon Iver's makes the song mean something else-in my opinion. I can't listen to her version without crying.

[mPENELOPEAm]

I love her voice, it's so peaceful and powerful at the same time.. This cover is amazing and so is the song, one of my favourites..

[annemariekevantoor]

Almost crying from the beaty of the song, and especially her voice, pure talent!

[ghinasabrina]

I LOVE BIRDY! her song choices, her voice, her style of singing, her attitude, her talent, her sense of fashion, etc etc. well basically that's never-ending :)

[iloveapplestuff]

Every lyric she sings gives me a chill. She is literaly a prodigy. I love you Birdy, I hope to be like you when I grow.

[GinoGenero]

Can anyone put into words what makes Birdy's voice so special? I can't find words but I can always feel it. Deep down.

[ljsdaisy]

목소리가 먹먹하면서도 절제되어있는 것 같아서 듣기 너무 편하고 너무 듣기 좋은 것 같다ㅠㅠㅠ 이 노래 새벽에 정말 듣다가 울 수도 있을 것 같다. 목소리로 사람을 이렇게 휘어잡을 수 있는힘이 있는게 정말 부러울정도로... Birdy, your voice have big power.

[kellymcfarland]

Birdy is the most talented performer in today's music industry. What a passionate, humble performer she is.

[Victoryisalways]

I had to stop 24 seconds in because I was starting to cry. Her voice in this song is even more heartbreaking and beautiful when its live. I am going to buy her album when it's out int he US.

[Shaqify]

Car crashes are just so said since there's almost everytime an innoncent victim.

Rest in peace, make sure to play your songs in heaven, you sweet angel.

[JoeMusicxSixx]
