Lyrics:
I made a promise
To distance myself
Took a flight, through aurora skies
Honestly I didn't think about
How we didn’t say goodbye
Just see you very soon

It hurts to be something
It’s worse to be nothing with you

So I didn't call you
For 16 long days
And I should get, a cigarette
For so much restraint
No matter how long I resist temptation
I will always lose

It hurts to be something
It’s worse to be nothing with you

I’ve done the math
Theres no solution
We’ll never last
Why can't I let go of this?

So I broke my promise
I called you last night
I shouldn't have, I wouldn't have
If it weren't for the sight of a boy
Who looked just like you
Standing out on Melrose Avenue

It hurts to be something
It’s worse to be nothing with you

IMAGINE BEING LAUFEY'S NEIGHBOR AND BEING ABLE TO HEAR THIS ANGELIC VOICE IN THE MORNING 😭😭😭

[mimicking_]

the bow in her hair, her voice, the piano, the lighting and THIS SONG!!! 🤩 laufey is so perfect i love her and her music sm 🫶🏻

[anklebank]

this song is so so beautiful in a way i cannot express. outside the context of a romantic relationship as well, it could also be about losing a friendship or being overlooked by someone you call a friend which just hurts so much in a very specific way :") love u laufey

[사랑해-nf]

i cant stop thinking of how EXTREMELY beautiful this is... her voice sounds like a cello... if that makes any sense

[KyleKalevra]

In an era of auto tuned, computer generated, corporation produced ‘music’, your songwriting and performance talents are exactly what is needed right now. Like the punk and grunge generations before that were answers to the past corporate problems with music, she is one of the answers to ours.

Thank you for going against the grain and being a pioneer for the audiences starved for real music.

[Lilyisawesome]

I can’t get over how blessed I am to be living in the same century as Laufey.

[sweet_cole]

"It hurts to be something. It's worst to be nothing with you"😭‼️

[thatfish]

Please do more of these home recordings, they're beautiful

[joaquinphoenixsforeheadfac]

This is like feeling Merry-Go-Round from Howl's Moving Castle all over again. Her outfit looking like Sophie is just the cherry on top of the emotional parfait.

[aeaaaaaa]

istg its IMPOSSIBLE for laufey to make a bad song, she sounds like an angel and looks like one too, SHE IS THE DEFINITION OF PERFECT 😭😭!!

[fernandogaray]

I can't wait to hear this song live with an orchestra, like A Night At The Symphony. This song is already one of my Laufey's favorites and a version like so could break my mind (and my heart, again)

[MadisunTofa]

My dad and i listen to your songs on our way to school and one thing we like about your music is that, you dont cut your breathe out which has a lot of effect. To me it puts more emotion to your music because without your deep breaths, it doesnt make you human.

[mangojzu]

laufey just has a voice akin to that of a singer in a 50's jazz bar, and despite not being born in this generation, she brings me great nostalgia

[asianpirate]

I love her for reviving a style of musical storytelling not seen in decades. I became an instant fan.

[PRODVE]

Laufey is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for her one day.

[iamindireneedofsleep]

Dude, two seconds into this vid, and I already know that I’m gonna cry from both the lyrics, and Laufey’s angelic voice T^T Love you! You’re doing great, and I wish to see you on your one day!

[Lilyisawesome]

I would still be crying even if I couldn’t speak English, Laufey’s voice is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I literally want her music and only hers at my funeral.

[elizabeth]

this song holds a special place in my heart. laufey, YOU hold a special place in my heart. thank you for helping me get over every break up, thank you for helping me cry when i want to cry, thank you for making me feel less alone, thank you for letting me feel love and sadness and your "laufey feeling"; i am forever grateful.

[eduarda]

one of the best musicians we have nowadays…… just insanely talented and skilled!!!!

[haanhpham]

I discovered you for the first time on ytb in 2021 and the first video I watched was you singing “moon river”. I was almost 13 years old then, and your songs changed my view of everything, and added sweet spices to my soul. I'll be 15 in a month, the past two years have changed a lot but your music, always, and forever soothes me.
