Bastille - What would you do? (Lyrics)

City High - What would you do?

[shreyar]

"so she stared me right square in the eye and said
'Every day I wake up hoping to die'"

That line hits me every time

[kyliepowers]

This song is so underrated, it didn't get the credit it deserved

[lex_xx]

I’m a 12 year old guy, but I have a single mother. She never from my concern went through this exact story, but I remember being verbally abused and kidnapped by my father. I seen her bring so many guys home, she’s currently trying to contain herself through another breakup. All she wants is a full, loving family after my brother passed away. I’ll always stay by her side. No matter what happened before, or what will happen later.

To all the woman/girls out there, no matter if you went through things like this or not: I give huge respect to you woman. Thanks for giving so much just for us kids to be happy and taken care of. Much love.

Have you ever just cried? Because of this song?

[cassiefossen]

This song, the way it is sung and covered by you guys, is HAIR RAISING in the best way.

[livingdeadmxtt]

This song makes me cry... some people do this all the time.. But... please note to all the mothers.. things get better... no matter how hard it is.. this is reality... reality is hard... but we learn ro face reality and move forward...

I like how literally no one knows that this is a cover. Like the og was like v popular a while back??? Who knows

[annie_xo]

Sad how so many girls and women are out there living like this, struggling just to make it through one more day

[greatgodly]

What would I do? What I would do is give that girl a hug and assure her that there are people out there who truly care for her and someday, she'll get herself out of this mess.

[Lovelynishh]

Everytime I listen to this song I have to listen to it like 10 times after. I really love Bastilles' version.

[merak]

am i the only one who has trouble comparing the covers? Like Cityhigh? An absolute bop. I love it. Bastille's version? Also rlly good. I love the more sober tone to it. If I see people dissing on either version I get defensive for the other band lol They're both rlly good and i love this song

[soulisslippery]

i cant count on both hands how many times ive listened to this song on repeat on spotify and on youtube

[cassieh]

I like that they added that line from Requiem for a Dream at the end.

[mackward]

“What would you do if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bedroom floor ‘cause he’s hungry and the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money”. For all the people struggling right now, it will get better and it will be alright, I promise.

[flappinthejack]

This is just a song about that one dnd player who won’t shut up about their characters backstory

[joshuacox]

How does this song not have at least a million views?

[thenyansquidman]

This is just a more sad version of the original. It focuses on the sad emotions more. While the original is great I prefer this one due to the pure emotion

[LilFishy]

This is a cover song I like this version over the original, but still enjoy both.

[ashleyy]

I didn't understand this song when it first came out me and my siblings would just sing to it I recently listened to it and reat the lyrics damn

[nicoleb]
