Second Hand News - Birdy

Composed by：Jasmine Van Den Bogaerde/Jonny Wright

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

You can take the things they say

As the bitter truth

Don't throw it all away

On second hand news

'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

Been a broken machine

Since the day you've been gone

On a loop in a dream

Did you think I'd move on

You can take the things they say

As the bitter truth

But don't throw it all away

On second hand news

'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

Cryin' 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

Oh-oh oh-oh

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

No don't throw it all away on second hand new
