Lyrics:
Waiting on you
Trying to keep your head strong
With nothing to lose
You raise your voice with something to prove
And all the things you say to me
I can't forget them
You don't leave
But you tell me with your eyes what you need
Oh, please
Do you think that I don't know what it means?
All the things you hide for me
I accept them
But I need you next to me
If I can't hold you now
Keep thinking that you might not come around
I have no words, I have no words to say
If I can't change your mind
Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye?
You say it first, you say it first to me
You're in the clear
While I'm waking up to nothing but tears
And you say they've said
That I'm the only one that needed to change
You know the things you've said to me
Do you regret them?
I just need you next to me
If I can't hold you now
Keep thinking that you might not come around
I have no words, I have no words to say
If I can't change your mind
Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye?
You say it first, you say it first to me
So I can't just forget you, just forget you
Can't just forget you, just forget you
And If I can't hold you now
Keep thinking how you might not come around
And I have no words, I have no words to say
If I can't change your mind
Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye?
You say it first, you say it first to me
If I can't hold you now (if I can't hold you now)
Keep thinking that you might not come around (might not come around)
I have no words, I have no words to say
If I can't change your mind (if I can't change your mind)
Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye? (our last goodbye?)
You say it first, you say it first to me

[@gabriellewellman1140]

The reason I love Birdy so much is that she truly is an authentic artist. She doesn't need flashy clothes, or media drama. She has her voice. That's all she needs.

[@karolw2819]

She is very underrated ;( This video should have like 50 mil views

[@dw89music73]

And very gifted for her age to boot. She'd make me feel jealous of her.

She is more talented and wise at 20 than I will ever be. What an old soul.

[@haileypottinger6045]

The words to this song... No matter how many times I hear them they still resonate with me so deeply. Thank you Birdy.

[@donnellhicks]

You are so right, no words. Truly incredible song...

[@jenjenedozie2194]

Birdy makes her music inspiring, beautiful, and meaningful. Many other artists just talk about stupid stuff like how they're rich or smoking. But Birdy really makes music that has life and a true meaning. Amazing.

[@Moinul987]

I've been waiting a while for Birdy to release a new song, she never fails to impress

[@eliseoabrahamriveragarduno4017]

Actually this song was released months ago. A full lenght album.

[@jessehill2241]

Birdy needs to be recognised as an artist!! 5 years professionally singing and only 1 UK top 10 and 3 UK top 40 hits… she deserves more for what talent she's got. She's literally perfection!

[@levilevi9155]

Just heard this from our local radio station today and I immediately recognized her voice despite only knowing Keeping Your Head Up. Her voice is very distinct and I like it very much.

[@zuzkatesarova2313]

She is so beautiful...Finally going to see her in October in Edinburgh, so happy :)

[@thatonegirl1553]

I swear to God, Birdy doesn't have a single bad song. I simply adore her.

I was feeling... ermm..ok ok ok.. until the chorus in.. I'm blown away... did not expect she twisted the chorus that way and it sounds stupendous..

Incredibly beautiful young woman singing another one of her many incredibly beautiful songs. Make any day a good day. And if you haven't gotten her newest cd "Beautiful Lies" your missing out big time.

[@oli-yq2em]

YOURE MY FAVOURITE SINGER AND PERSON AND IT LOOKS AS IF YOURE HAVING LIKE A REVIVAL IDK HOW TO EXOLAIN IT BUT IM SO PROUD OF YOU AND ALL YOUR WORK AND JUST SLAY SLAY SLAY I ALSO ADORE THE FACT THAT YOU DONT CHANGE FOLLOWING THE MUSIC TREND, YOURE ORIGINAL

[@gabrielgabrielgabriel7586]

How many times I found myself searching for this song.. Birdy seeded in me a need for something beautiful, enspiring, something that give me hope. Her music really is like a heal for all unbearable emotions that stick with you after such bunch of hard time in your life, that times when you can't figure out that all is missing is love and that's all you need to have, but you were always used to hide and reject this, therefore you really can not express it for others, and this fact cause others to not give you the love you need from them. Finally I m afraid to feel and give love to someone, but when I hear her voice, I really feel like I got so much love for her. She is such an angel, she has such a noble heart.

[@patriciabrusselaers594]

Restez comme vous êtes, une si belle voix...vous semblez si naturelle...vos textes sont si parlant...bref continuez vous êtes parfaite!!!

[@lorenzoking9460]

This song is so DOPE it's bad she doesn't get the recognition she deserves but she still shining 💯

[@dystephiary]

I heard this song back in 2017 and I liked it because of the melody, never really understanding anything about the lyrics. I am now realizing what it means after seeing this song on my ex-boyfriend's playlist (I took a quick snoop on Spotify, don't judge me); he added this about a week before he broke-up with me last March. He thought I was already gone mentally and emotionally (I've been detached the past months because I was going through something, my fault as well) -- just like how the lyrics says: "You don't leave but you tell me with your eyes what you need. Oh please, do you think that I don't know what it means. All the things you hide from me, I accept them". He didn't ask me what was wrong, didn't communicate anything and just tried to accept that I was already "gone" and moved on all on his own while we were still together. He was I think just waiting for me to say goodbye, (kinda like how Birdy says, "You say it first to me"). He decided to end things when he reached the peak of his "moving on" stage -- I was left blindsided to what was really happening. I had to process everything for maybe three weeks until I decided to fix things and reconcile but he has made up his mind a long time ago. He was long gone before he actually left. I am heartbroken. We've been together seven years. I had faults but I really wished he communicated his needs especially since he was the first to be aware of what was going on with our relationship.

Amazing song dear Birdy. You are amazing and wonderful.

[@TheWhitehorseman1]

I rarely if ever had thumbs up a song within the first 5 seconds! wow!, this is one of those songs that just grows and grows on you I can tell. It is so awesome seeing someone like her so young doing this, what can we expect in 10-20 years!. Her potential to create so great, so beautiful and talented, I see a huge international sensation here, she is the real thing. What they have right is she is portrayed as pure, the clean and natural look, this is what is truly valued is society, the dirty look sells but does not maintain any respect which is crucial to longevity.

I came across your music by accident while searching for music styles..... You left me lost for words and full of emotion. I don't know if you have time to read this but I hope someday get to read this text. You're beautiful to look at and you've poured your soul into your compositions like I've never seen by anyone. I usually like a few songs a musician performs...but I love every one you soulfully created. I am truly amazed and grateful to be so affected by you. You must have a large percent of men after your heart. I know I wish I were an angel, to go to you and sweep you away.... but I'm just me. If you ever need to spark an idea for a new song feel free to see what thoughts I'd be honored to share to you. creativity creativity
