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
In that beautiful summer, used to call me your lovebird
But the time went on, the wind has blown, and I have grown
And I started a feelin' that 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 flyin' away
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 every day
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
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 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
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 every day
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 wingspan
'Cause they say, "If you love something, let it go, let it go, let it go"
Open up the gate
'Cause your lovebird's flyin' away
Your lovebird's flyin' away
'Cause my heart's been stuck in a cage
Gotta sing my song so pretty (my song), dum-dum, diddy (my song)
And I'll miss you every day (oh, I'll miss you)
But there's nothing left to say (oh)
Gotta sing my song so pretty, dum-dum, diddy
