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

I absolutely love how she kept the video so simple. No fancy dancers, no fancy hair, no props. Just her, looking like an everyday person, singing her beautiful song. Makes it so real. Well done.

[DmitriyVereschagin]

Random guy with lyrics where are you man? Your job is simple but very important. So please come over and do what you should.

[orxid_official]

Simplicity, sadness, precision of the lyrics and an exceptionnel voice. The perfect recipe.😢 I still sing it in 2023.

[bwgirls]

10 years ago, and this song is still beautiful. Birdy is such a good singer, haven't heard this song in more than 7 years. This was my favourite song back in 2012. <3

I cant express my love for birdy. She invokes such a strong sense of emotion through her piano and vocals.. She has an amazing interpetatoin of every cover shes sings. I myself am a singer/songwriter, and I could only wish to be able to transform the songs she covers like she does. 

[RogueNinja]

She shows so much maturity for such a young woman.

[Kacey-qj]

Oh my, Its been 11 years and I'm still listening to this masterpiece. I'm not the only one am i?

[davidagostimminatto]

Birdy's voice is one of the most beautiful nowadays!

[georgiescoles]

This girl went to a school near me, met her and she's such a great person!

[golfy]

skinny love and battled cancer treatment and still here to listen to this music so remerniset 😢

[sixtyfiveford]

I watched this years ago and was amazed then. Randomly I was thinking about this young girl singing with the amazing voice. 5 hours of searching I'm glad I found it again. Amazing!

[FaceSatchel]

This song seems to creep into a playlist when you least expect it but need it the most.

[marcusSOCoaching]

I just looked up her age, and Birdy was born in 1996. She was 15 when this video was posted. she's talented. The braces also make more sense.

[lymington.]

Ein Song, der für mich Musik-Geschichte hat, auch wenn es nur ein Cover von Bon Iver ist. Ein Song, den man nicht vergisst. ❤

[captaincrash]

Birdy, I'm just an old man fighting cancer, with a love story and a history to rival any epic novel.. art is pointless and yet the best mankind has to offer. Thank you, and don't ever stop.

[renatinhs]

Spend as much time as it takes I will always come back here to listen to this perfection of music thank you Birdy.

[kamisakimai]

i love the emotion she put into this song it caught me the first time i heard it.

[danikarachaelgreene]

I don't understand... how can such a young talented soul make such beautiful music? <3 it!
Thank you, the Vampire Diaries, for using so much of this lovely and touching music in your episodes. TVD brought me here, to Birdy, haha. 

[kieudang]

Just now watching this in 2014! Birdy is an amazing singer :)

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
