Second Hand News - Birdy

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

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

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
