Delicate, and much better than the Ed Sheeran original.
The lyrics are about a woman who takes Class A drugs, and is willing to do anything (including prostitution) to get them. Birdy's sad, sympathetic vocals are miles better than the Sheeran original though. At least she doesn't portray the poor woman in ironic pop stylings. Birdy's music seems more sympathetic to me, less pop-art and more of a portrait of a sad story that doesn't end well.
