For the first time I heard my friend sing this and I cried.

[jblover360]

i personally think this song is about a girl who is rly in love but feels like the person shes in love with isnt in love with her. and i think she rly wishes tht they were in love with her, so she would do anything (including allowing them to choose the words she says) to be with them, even if she knos its all fake. but she feels even tht isnt ever going to happen, therefore, its too much to ask.

[SHayLALA21]

@jblover360 omg i totally agree:)

[thatkidrhiannon]

For the past 12 hours I've been listening to this song on repeat, and now I'm just going to click the repeat button AGAIN. <3

[racheldenney11]

such a beautiful song!! I wonder what it's about!?!

[crazyrainbowkid]

@racheldenney11 same the word make you think.

[Jumpthen4all]

I think it's about someone who let someone fall for them but then never returned for them and still hasn't returned since. Just my opinion but I think Ellie Goulding is trying to say she needs a person to rely on and that she isn't much of a leader.

[marah131]

I honestly think this song is a song from the grave. Like past regrets. Taking someone for granted and now they aren't there anymore, but the song is from that persons point of view

[xoxoBreKxoxo]

What do you guys think this song is about?

[EnchantingPhaeton]

I love the way she sings the verse "I try out a smile. I aim it at you. You must have missed it. You always do"

[Xbox180ISSWEET]

I love, love, LOVE how she trills that "try" at the end of the chorus! My favorite part of the song! :D

[Evanescence4life4427]

i love ellie goulding <3 my friend got me introduced me to her and i love her for it :)

[PrettyNPinkk00]

My friend's say im differnet b|c im black & i listen to music like this, but also listen to Lil Wayne, nicki minaj ext . I just find her song's amazing af' !<3

[maura2cute]

beautiful. says a lot about not letting others speak for you.

[daisycookie0707]

OMG!! this is the first time i've heard this song and i already think it's the best song in the world! Ellie Goulding is my favorite singer ever!!!!

[LadyLuck282]

Good god, people. how did we ever start comparing Taylor and Ellie? They don't sing the same type of music, they had drastically different voices. hell, they don't even look similar.

and people? if your going to try and tell someone they should have a different opinion, be ready to hear them tell you that you should have a different opinion as well :\

[gnomemax1]

@LadyLuck282 you go girl!!!

[VanillaBabeh]

Well, I think we all agree that Ellie Goulding is amazing? Judge it by the Likes and Dislikes...486 vs 6(y)

[goosylucyrocks]

@meghanleigh2727 I think you use an apple mac or macbook and make a video and save it then just upload it, i think thats it sorry if it's wrong! :)

[sagechasen1]

i love this songg:)

[GetThatSuperBass1]

Everyone Deserves Their Opinion. Maybe This Isnt Your Song, Maybe The Writer Doesnt Soften Yur Heart And Maybe Yur Not Starry-Eyed.

[jmcdrulez]

love this song

[Anna915109]

It doesnt matter if u like Taylor or ellie tbh i prefer ellie cuz im stick on hearin American music and i like the british accent (im american btw) but i dnt care and i dnt think u do either so there.

[rebjiii]

[neversaynever610]

This explains my problome

[PrettyLittleLiars212]

I'm freakin obsessed with this song.

[FugeeMonstaa]

For all those who dont like the song... stop commenting and dont watch. I dont see why on EVERY SINGLE video there is a pathetic arguement. Grow up.

[khan951]

i love my self.....................

[loveXpeaceXandXme]

[smileyflyz]

[iizlawliet]

SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC! OKAY? get it? got it? good

[CeliaHarvestMoon]

omg shut up i love ellie goulding im like her number 1 fan anyone thinks shes rubish is just gay

[hibiki1600]

current craze?

Ellie Goulding. :>

[MidnightKat666]

@sortaneevish I agre with you, I like Elli Goulding and this song and her others but I like Taylor Swift. Actually Taylor Swift got me into Ellie Goulding. Me and my friends have this thing about Justin Bieber and Aston (JLS) but my other friend likes both. Me and my first friend both respect each others opinions. People should do the same to you.

[xxRosettaxx1]

@MidnightKat666 I don't understand, how is Taylor Swift involved in a conversation on an Ellie Goulding song? O.o

[MidnightKat666]

@xxRosettaxx1 Basically for me, I mean that the same person who got me into Taylor Swift got me into Ellie Goulding, and if people argue about the two then its not quite fair because you can't compare one artist to another x

[xxRosettaxx1]

@MidnightKat666 oh that makes much more sense...okay :)

[TheLunaSpirit]

This is my song, I wish to be a author when Im older. I found this song and showed my freinds this they say shes describing me. Because somtimes its like I can make people do things absentmindingly.

[CCthebat]

I love this song. My sister is a huge Ellie Goulding fan and she introduced me to this recording. It completely touched me deeply. :)

[Catwolf109]

@EVERYONE Look, guys, just because she prefers Taylor Swift doesn't immediately blackball her. Leave sortaneevish alone and entitle all to their own opinion.

~Catwolf109

[FluffyourPancakes]

I love how she pronounces 'Casting' like a Britian. Instead of American. It gives the song more Edge and gives it that Original flavor.

[coollady63]

@FluffyourPancakes She's not American, so why would she pronounce it like an "American?"

[TheTayzmaniandevil]

people tell me that I sound like her. Best thing i've heard in my life

[ElegantSkies]

Taylor Swift sucks ass, nuff said >.>

[WhiteCrossHaus]

omg thiz speakz my mind every detail!

i love her n i love her muzic so much!

I WISH I HAD HER TALENT!

[ilovetiggerful]

Hello? Ignore this vvv, and listen to this ^^^. Okay? :)

[essensual2u]

absolutely amazing! love this song :)

[TheMilli927]

she is the pretty much the UK's taylor swift.. but sorta better.

[alrenmar13]

wow i hate when people fight over opinions, k guys this is MY opinion GTFO ! ...

and i love ellie goudling :D

[sortaneevish]

Oh and also, @congo4us grow up.

[sortaneevish]

Alright, I'm fed up of this, guys, I haven't said ONE THING negative about Ellie Goulding. All I said is that I prefer Taylor Swift. Why would I make this video if I hated her? @Luchia5000 no, I will not shut up, I'm entitled to my own opinion and you should respect that.

[Kam787]

@sortaneevish Taylor swift IS better, it's a fact. But Ellie is also good, just not AS good. :)

faaaaaaaaack you, haters.

[SugarSpiceLoveMusic]

@sortaneevish I prefer Taylor Swift too but I still like Ellie Goulding!  :) xx

[97allierizz]

@sortaneevish Your I love both Taylor Swift and Ellie Goulding but I've known Taylor Swift longer and memorized most of her songs becasue shes amazing but I still love them both

[MrGingakid69]

@sortaneevish I get what your saying. you like ellie goulding but you think taylor is a better singer. its your opinion and people should respect it. you like them both but one more than the other. people just gotta know that.

[bonniebaby1997]

@sortaneevish i prefer taylor swift myself... =) your not the only one. i still like ellie though ;)

[darsonia22]

@sortaneevish Some people just need a reason to complain on the internet. I'm sorry that enough people have tried to bash on you for stating your opinion. Thank you for uploading the song! I hadn't heard it before, and I've enjoyed it a lot. =) Also? I love Taylor Swift too. =P ~Controversy! lol...silly people~

[oakamz]

anybody else think it sounds like the darkness's christmas song?:/

[NiamhsWeb]

@MKandTayluvtosing ok then..... : \

[NiamhsWeb]

@MKandTayluvtosing Thats nice... in MY OPINION Ellie Golding is better. Jeez

[JackieLush]

Favourite line " Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay" <3

[salticid2702]

i wouldnt say a strong english accent. just sings in english, not american. makes a nice change, i cant stand it when a good british artist sings in an american accent.

[BiBiLim715]

@salticid2702 Like who?

[airbrush441]

She has a verry strong english acsent (Wahh evr way yeaa wanna spell ehh) hehe

[mzangelstruck]

[NatalieJalili]

[courtneypaige18]

[pionjoeer6]

[meganahh123]

[BiBiLim715]

[ellz167]

I just love this song, it seems like my whole life all over.. Ellie is amazing! plus she has the same name as me :) ♥

[xBonkerrsNellyx]

I ♥ Ellie so much! Amazing voice!

Anyone else think she sounds like Taylor Swift? But better!

♥♫

[sortaneevish]

@xBonkerrsNellyx she doesn't sound like taylor swift, i love t-swiz much betterr ;D x

[09stevensa]

@sortaneevish My mum always says if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all!.... So don't say it

:(

[sortaneevish]

@09stevensa sorry, um, i'm confused by this comment haha :) xx

[aliceewhitehead]

@sortaneevish if you think that Taylor Swift is better, then you are confused about life!!

[Katiieerosee]

@09stevensa i totally agree, people are all different and amazing in there own individual ways. xx

[Katiieerosee]

@09stevensa i totally agree, everyone are different and amazing in their own individual ways xx

[lvolpe0720]

@09stevensa I'm not disagreeing with your saying... but thats not rude... weird person. She was just saying she liked Taylor Swift better.

[ioanaleo]

@09stevensa just cause he/she said she didn't sound like taylor that doesn't mean she's worse >.< people, you need to meet my logics teacher

[09stevensa]

@ioanaleo Ummm, "i love t-swiz much better"???????

[Beatricerites26]

@09stevensa

I think your Mum is right.

[Zacktherocker12]

@09stevensa Well guess what? Your mum isn't your role model, so stop listening to her.

[RosiieeB]

@Zacktherocker12 tbh, you grow up listening to your mum so you know, she kind of is a role model. Even if she isn't atm, she was at some point.

And everyone says that, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

I mean c'mon guys, everyones entitled to their opinion but why fight about it on a youtube video? :S

[congo4us]

@sortaneevish go to hell... do u know music? this is music

[Luchia5000]

@sortaneevish Just shut up cause some people like her and they wouldnt like to hear nasty comments!! sorry!! :)

[vEsain]

@sortaneevish Taylor swift is trash compared to Ellie

[launterluva654]

@sortaneevish wat a dumbfuck

[TheGinge1998]

@xBonkerrsNellyx Nah Taylors much better she dosny sound nothing like Taylor x

[prudduck]

@xBonkerrsNellyx

Taylor Swift is rubbish, pretty tho :)

[bonniebaby1997]

@prudduck i think taylor swift is good!!! im going to see her in march! :) but ellie goulding is AMAZING!!!

[bonniebaby1997]

@xBonkerrsNellyx i just think she looks a bit like her :D

[tribranchvo]

@xBonkerrsNellyx I don't think she sounds like Taylor Swift, Taylor is good, but Ellie is more soulful, relaxing, poetic, dreamy, beautiful and innocent. :)

[MrsMichiGreen]

@xBonkerrsNellyx She doesn't sound like Taylor Swift...

[eleanorlovshim]

i think this songs about her liking this guy but he doesnt notice her so she wants to be whatever he wants her to be to get him even if it means she has to pretend because she realy likes him, or am i completey wrong?! :L <3

[paigeeland]

this song is AAAAMMMMAAAAZZZZIIIIIIINNNNNGG­GGG!!!!!!

[MrsLeonsgiiXD]

it's a wonderful song..

and it's great to sing..

I love her voice :)

@julzzzable i think you can'z say which is her best song,

because every song is the best in another situation.

So I think her cover of starry eyed, is best too, but only if your not sad..

So i love her and every song of her..

And very good video :)

[sortaneevish]

@MrsLeonsgiiXD i agreee :D

thanks xx

[NiamhsWeb]

@sortaneevish Ellie Goulding is better....

[TDAclipsLUVER98]

@sortaneevish i think its about a boy trying to change who she is

[MattHardywwe]

@Mrkaykayb over-controlling boyfriend.

[xNotPerfectButRealx]

@Mrkaykayb I think its about her boyfriend trying to change her or something? :)
