Magda Davitt (born Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor (/ʃɪˈneɪd oʊˈkɒnər/) on 8 December 1966) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 1980s with her debut album The Lion and the Cobra. As Sinéad O'Connor, she achieved worldwide success in 1990 with a new arrangement of Prince's song "Nothing Compares 2 U".

Since then, while maintaining her singing career, she has occasionally encountered controversy, partly due to her statements and gestures—such as her ordination as a priest despite being a woman with a Roman Catholic background—and her strongly expressed views on organised religion, women's rights, war, and child abuse. In addition to her ten solo albums, her work includes many singles, songs for films, collaborations with many other artists, and appearances at charity fundraising concerts.

In 2017, O'Connor said that she had changed her legal name to Magda Davitt.

I hope you're happy now

I could never make you so

You were a hard man

No harder in this world

You made me cold

And you made me hard

And you made me the thief

Of your heart

Winter is cold

inRead invented by Teads

Oh, but you're colder still

And for the first time

I feel like you're mine

I'll share you with the one

Who will mend what falls apart

And turn a blind eye

To the thief of your heart

Oh, you lost

Oh, you lost

Hope

You lost hope

You lost hope

I'll never wash these clothes

I want to keep the stain

Your blood to me is precious

Nor would I spill it in vain

Your spirit sings

Though your lips never part

Singing only to me

The thief of your heart

Oh, you lost

Oh, you lost

Oh, you lost

Hope

You lost hope

Oh, you lost

Oh, you lost

Hope

You lost hope.
