Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I will lay down next to you, stay in bed all afternoon
We were birds of a feather, we were always together
And I never will forget all the little things you said
And that beautiful summer, used to call me a lovebird
But the time went on, the wind has blown, and I have grown
And I started to feelin' that my wings had been broken
And I can't believe that I would ever want to be set free
But I just can't stay, so your lovebird's flyin' away
[Verse 2]
Your lovebird's flyin' away, 'cause my heart's been stuck in a cage
Gotta sing my song so pretty, dum-dum-diddy
And I miss you everyday, but there's nothin' left to say
Gotta sing my song so pretty, dum-dum-diddy
[Verse 3]
I want the world at my feet, even if it's bittersweet
Wanna stand on my own and put my heart in my own hands
'Cause I began to see that you and me are different breeds
So I gotta believe and gotta get back to breathin'
And I can't believe that I would ever want to be set free
But I just can't stay, so your lovebird's flyin' away
[Verse 4]
Your lovebird's flyin' away, 'cause my heart's been stuck in a cage
Gotta sing my song so pretty, dum-dum-diddy
And I'll miss you everyday, but there's nothin' left to say
Gotta sing my song so pretty, dum-dum-diddy
[Verse 5]
And you'll always be a part of me, you made me who I am
But I gotta say I'm not afraid to test my wingspan
'Cause they say if you love somethin', let it go, let it go, let it go
Open up the gate, 'cause your lovebird's flyin' away, yeah
[Verse 6]
Your lovebird's flyin' away, 'cause my heart's been stuck in a cage
Gotta sing my song so pretty, dum-dum-diddy (My song, my song)
And I'll miss you everyday, but there's nothin' left to say (I'll miss you)
Gotta sing my song so pretty, dum-dum-diddy
