[Verse 1]
It's an old curse, dreamers divin' head first
Broken beaks and dead birds
Can't get through the glass
There's no use cryin' over spilled blood
Carin' only kills love
A kiss won't bring it back

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that the first blow hits you cold

[Chorus]
Young man, hush your crying, dry your tears away
Nothing is original, there's nothing left to say
You won't be the first or be the last to bleed
Every broken heart as far as your eye can see
It's a copy of a copy of a copy
It's a copy of a copy of a copy

[Verse 2]
I can hear you, howlin' 'til your lungs hurt
So let this be your comfort
You're not the only one, no
In a strange way, all in this together
Been this way forever, you're not the only one

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that the first blow hits you cold

[Chorus]
Young man, hush your crying, dry your tears away
Nothing is original, there's nothing left to say
You won't be the first or be the last to bleed
Every broken heart as far as your eye can see
It's a copy of a copy of a copy
It's a copy of a copy of a copy

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Young man, hush your crying, dry your tears away
Nothing is original, there's nothing left to say
You won't be the first or be the last to bleed
Every broken heart as far as your eye can see
It's a copy of a copy of a copy
It's a copy of a copy of a copy
It's a copy of a copy of a copy
It's a copy of a copy of a copy

Louis Tomlinson

Louis William Tomlinson, born Louis Troy Austin on December 24th, 1991, is an English pop singer-songwriter best known for his work as part of British-Irish sensation One Direction. Like his bandmates, Louis auditioned as a solo act on X-Factor UK in 2010 before being put into the group. Although they only came in third place, the boys became an international success and made five full albums, (Up All Night, Take Me Home, Midnight Memories, FOUR, and Made In The A.M.).

1D began an indefinite hiatus in 2015, and the next year, Louis became a father to Freddie Reign Tomlinson. In December 2016, Louis' mother Johannah Deakin died of leukemia and Louis dedicated his first performance of his debut single “Just Hold On” – a collaboration with “Steve Aoki” – to her.

Louis released his second single “Back to You,” a collaboration with Bebe Rexha and Digital Farm Animals in July 2017. Two more singles, “Just Like You” and “Miss You,” were released later that year.
