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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/birdy/skinny_love.html ]
I told you to be patient
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"
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 britches
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

If you dont like this song by this person then why look at the lyrics which is what you would have done if you posted a message. This is a good song like many, and a great singer like many. If you are here to criticize then sets hear you sing. This is a love song like most songs it is very good and it is very sad i dont have a meaning for the song but i would love to know what the meaning is for writer and singers.

Bon ivers version is better. . . All birdy does is covers of songs and they all end up sounding the same.. For example she does a cover of 1901 by phoenix, its originally upbeat and funky... She baisically made it sound like skinny love, as she does with all songs.

Are you all kidding. Birdy has done a cover of this song, i hope you all know that. Bon iver/justin vernon wrote the song (and personally) i think he holds emotion and integrity while birdy simply sings the lyrics. Nothing is changed. So how could her cover have any meaning wht so ever? You all say 'she broke up' or 'she had and eating disorder'. But don't joke around, she just sang lyrics. Therefore, although i'm not denying she's a talented young girl, she does not deserve her own seperate lyrics page and most definitely does not deserve to be contributed as the writer. All ya'll, go find bon iver's version first. Wake up and smell the freaking flowers, aand learn what real music is like. Sung by an expert and emotional juno-winner, and not some 15 year old pre-pubecent child looking for her 'justin beiber' or 'selena gomez' fame. Goddd dammmittt!

I think she was in a happy relationship but then something went wrong. They both know they should split up but she wants to take it slow otherwise it would be "wasted love" and at the end she is asking him what will he do know that he's lost her?

I think its about a love that was so short, but she thought it was going to last forever. And she doesnt want it to be over so will cherish that last night together forever.
