Skinny Love
Birdy 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
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
Right in 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 brassieres
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
And who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

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

Lyrics of the song
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

Hi Birdy!
I don't think you will be able to read this, but anyway.

Five years ago I stumbled upon your song and instantly fell in love with it. Hearing it first was like walking in a rainy forest. From then I listened to it for almost every day. I would sometimes shed some because it is so beautiful.

Your song had inspired me to do things. Not everything went well, but I still play the piano and Skinny Love is my all time favourite.
You also inspired me to learn English so that I could fully understand the lyrics. It took some time to understand what pouring salt meant, but now that I know it made the song sound even more beautiful. I know it's not what you wrote but anyway.

Back in 2011 no friends of mine knew Birdy ;( but it's amazing where you stand now! You truly deserve it. Maybe little more. I'm really happy to see you getting bigger and bigger yet better and better.

Please keep doing what you love, you really are talented, and be happy.

Love from Jin.

This song is the song i was listening while crying in my car … i Was pregnant about to give birth and i knew that the dad of my baby was cheating at that very moment ,
My instinct was so strong … i later found out I was right. Its been almost 3 years and can still remember it as if it Was yesterday …
But god is amazing and gave me a healthy beautiful daughter and gave me strenght to continu life on my own
Anyways regardless,
this song is beautiful ♥️

coming from a father who started off the biggest piece of shit in the world, i'm glad i realized my family meant more to me than the bullshit i wanted to do at that moment, i hope that shit is working out for you. and that dumbass better get right too, kids are the most important thing in this cruel world. my daughter is 4 and i wouldn't trade her for anything in this world.
