[Verse 1]
I'm a book of mistakes
And it's just getting worse
Every new one I make
Is a rumour you heard
'Cause these days I'm self-destructive
The way I love
I push away every chance
'Cause it's never enough, my love
[Pre-Chorus]
You can take the things they say
As the bitter truth
Don't throw it all away
On second hand news
[Chorus]
'Cause if I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you
No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news
[Verse 2]
Been a broken machine
Since the day you've been gone
On a loop in a dream
Did you think I'd move on?
[Pre-Chorus]
You can take the things they say
As the bitter truth
But don't throw it all away
On second hand news
[Chorus]
'Cause if I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you
I'd leave it all behind
I've got nothing to lose
And I know you've heard what you've heard
But it doesn't mean it's true
No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news
[Bridge]
Crying silent tears in the next-door room
'Cause everybody's here but you
So I wrote you out this message
But I stopped myself from sending it off
[Chorus]
If I just let go
If my heart could choose
I would burn these bridges I've built
And find my way back to you
Leave it all behind
I've got nothing to lose
And I know you've heard what you've heard
But it doesn't mean it's true
No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news
[Outro]
No, don't throw it all away
On second hand news

This is about regret. After a breakup, you hear about the other person’s life and they hear about yours. But it’s always secondhand. When I wrote the chorus, it was quite a sweet little ballad, before I was thinking with this big voice. But it changed quite a lot when I sang it like that, and that’s...
