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 You used to call me your love bird. But the time went on The wind has blown And I've grown And I started a feeling And my wings have 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 flying away Your lovebird's flying 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 nothing left to say Gotta sing my song so pretty, dum dum diddy I want the world at my feet Even if it's bittersweet I wanna stand on my own and Hold my heart in my own hands 'Cause I've begun to see That you and me are different breeds So I gotta believe in, Gotta get back to grieving And I can't believe that I would ever want to be set free But I just can't stay So your lovebird's flying away Your lovebird's flying 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 nothing left to say Gotta sing my song so pretty, dum dum diddy 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 wing span 'Cause they say if you love something let it go, let it go, let it go Open up the gate, 'cause your lovebird's flying away Your lovebird's flying 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 nothing left to say Gotta sing my song so pretty, dum dum diddy
