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
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
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 lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Come on skinny love
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

The daughter of a concert pianist, fifteen year old Jasmine Van Den Bogaerde, A.K.A. Birdy, has been playing the piano since the age of five. Her haunting cover of Bon Iver's 'Skinny Love' was a YouTube sensation and reached No.17 in the UK chart in May 2011.
The song also skyrocketed in Australian popularity within the ARIA Charts' top ten, partly because of Bella Ferraro, an X Factor 2012 Top Four contestant, who performed the song at the X Factor auditions aired in Australia in August 2012. A similar thing took place in New Zealand in May 2013 after X Factor winner Jackie Thomas performed the song at her audition. The song entered the top 40 for the first time and reached #2 on the RIANZ charts following the broadcast.
In 2011, "Skinny Love" sold 259,000 copies in the UK becoming the third biggest selling rock single of that year. As of February 2012, the song had sold 320,475 copies in the UK.
Birdy's version of the song was serviced to U.S. contemporary hit radio on 11 February 2014.

So it's been 5 years since you commented this. How are you now?
Always remember that it doesn't matter what age you are. You leave your mark in your own time to the people that matter most regardless of how many or how few they are. :)

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

Still getting goosebumps when listening to this song.

Yea nothing better when someone writes a song about the torment of love gone wrong...
And then someone comes and buys it so they can make money off it.
This chick is shameful

@James Taleporos why don't u try and sing a song as beautifully as birdy did? grow up instead of trying to bash somebody for their covers. she is more successful then you will ever be. get that into your head
James Taleporos
Not underated at all. It's not her song and she doesn't connect with the lyrics at all - how could she at 14? Bon Iver will always be the definitive version, not this karaoke attempt.

@ᗩwkwardness Thanks for your input.. Generally when someone writes "lol" at the end of a sentence you can assume they are joking.. but again, thanks for your input 😁
BTW, I bet you're really fun at parties..
