Skinny Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
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, my, my
Right in this moment, this order's tall

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Come on, skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

[Chorus]
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 britches
And at the ends of all your lines

[Verse 3]
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

[Outro]
Come on skinny love
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

What did Birdy say about "Skinny Love"?

My aunt actually sent the song to me through a YouTube link, and I loved it. I tried my version with the piano and it just really worked, so we decided to do that and send it to BBC Radio 1, and it just got such an amazing reaction—the video got like, 17 million views on YouTube.
