Lyrics:
I'm a dreamer
But it's hard to sleep when your head's not in it
I've been restless
Cause you disappeared and that's all that's missing
The Earth is loose under my shoes
There's an angel
And he's shaped like you, and I thought I knew him
There's a window
And it's dark inside, but the light was in it
This can't be love if it hurts so much
I need to let go
I will survive and be the one who's stronger
I will not beg you to stay
I will move on and you should know I mean it
Wild horses run in me
I remember
How we danced so close, I would stand on your feet
And the phone calls
That would last all night, they were lifeboats to me
Our fading scars are shooting stars
They're here, then go
I will survive and be the one who's stronger
I will not beg you to stay
I will move on and you should know I mean it
Wild horses run in me
A human hurts, forgets how strong they are
And they get lost along the way, hey
It's not giving up, it's letting go
And moving to a better place
I will survive and be the one who's stronger
I will not beg you to stay
I will move on and you should know I mean it
Wild horses run in me
I will survive and be the one who's stronger
I will not beg you to stay
I will move on and you should know I mean it
Wild horses run in me

[@renatojsviana]

i hope this song gets popular, birdy deserves it. In my opinion she's one of the best female singers alive.

[@jezzezz9724]

tru

[@dominikjuchniewicz7465]

agree

[@SIDESEVERUS]

yeah

[@mikevantassel5559]

+Renato Viana Agreed! She's so underrated.

[@MoAhmedExperience]

That is so true A lot of singers nowadays don't deserve what they have. But Birdy is one of the best singers.

[@jamesdawson5169]

Wow, this video is like some dream world, her music is so beautiful and dreamy

[@jihenrochdi7091]

IKR

[@rebeccaff3943]

Yes, people should hear what real music is like!

[@jamesdawson5169]

+becky f I completely agree

[@rebeccaff3943]

+James Dawson yeah cause people these days, especially teens, hear very inappropriate music or music that talk about drugs

[@jamesdawson5169]

+becky f Yeah I'm a teen, and I like some stuff in the charts but I hate that its more popular than real music. People like Birdy and Aurora make real music and art that we can learn from. They are both 19 but somehow are very wise people who seem like they have lived longer

When Birdy's parent's held her in her in swaddling cloth and proudly showed her to her family and friends little did they know they held one of the most beautiful and emotive voices of our age.

"It's not giving up, it's letting go And moving to a better place..." - So powerful!

[@oh-wonder2129]

I hear "Our human hearts forget how strong they are"

[@figliodellestelle22]

...And moving to a better place

[@WadeTalksTech]

This song came on while I was chilling at Starbucks a few days ago. I had just gotten back from vacation / cleaning up my new house, in another state. I have been in the state I'm living in now for the majority of my life. I've got so many memories here, some good, some bad. Most of the bad are from past relationships that come in the form of ghosts. The past four years of my life have been utter hell on me emotionally. That's one of the reason's I'm seeking a new home elsewhere. My heart is lost and I'm struggling so badly getting back on my feet. Even now, as I'm moving out of my apartment. I keep finding things that bring back all these happy memories. At the same time it's killing me on the inside. I've had this song on repeat for the past few days. It's gotten me out of bed, it's also given me the strength to do what needs to be done in order for me to FINALLY get out of this place and move to a better one. I never really paid much attention to the artist, before this song. I owe her so much for helping me obtain the strength I needed to move on with my life. For that I'll forever be greatful.

[@TheChenkaien]

good on ya! Hope you keep the happiness going

[@brook____]

Things will get better, keep the faith!

[@carlbrown3568]

who gives a fuck

[@ambercotrone]

I know how you feel. I've been listening to this song on repeat too. I'm working up the courage to leave an abusive relationship and find a new life in another place. I wish you the best and hope you find happiness :)

[@bunnybop234]

+Carl Brown Me, I hope this guy has a good life, you should too.

[@laurawong1201]

2016-2023 I'm still listening to this wonderful song ☺️🩷🧜🏻‍♀️ Birdy is a very great musician❤😍🌹

[@DallasCoryell]

When the diver cuts his air line I think it represents her love interest sabotaging the relationship. She tries to save him, but can't. At the end he is drowning alone because she has already moved on. Powerful imagery!

[@jordanfeenstra]

+Dallas Coryell it's not his airline, it's his lifeline back to the boat

[@fernandobonilla6942]

+Jordan Riesebosch The it could also mean that meanwhile she moved on, he kept right there, don't wanting to move on

[@DallasCoryell]

+Jordan Riesebosch That is an old style diving suit, it is actually his air line. If you look closely when he cuts it there is a huge surge of air that comes out. But regardless I think the concept is the same. Also I think it is a statement about them just being too different to exist in the same world; it was not going to work no matter how hard they tried.

[@HelTra91]

Tried to manipulate her into staying but she's like nah, bye.

[@freshwhisper1343]

Underrated song.

[@jamesfisher5233]

Not as good as the best "Wild Horses" song by the Rolling Stones

Birdy has the most artistically beautiful music videos of our time. It hurts me to see how under appreciated she is.

[@dacdom]

I like birdy, she sounds unique, but this song is too pop I think anybody could sing it and sound good. Videos don't matter much in music.

[@mateusribeiro9384]

I can't think my life without these wonderful artists. I would have to listen to that crap that play on the radio. Thanks Birdy, for making my ears more healthy 😊

Well Carl when the likes of Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, JayZ, and Drake (14 weeks at number one for Christ's sake) chart higher, the people who are streaming, downloading this music need to visit their doctor to check their ears out.
