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 have grown

And I started a feeling

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 love bird's flying away

Your love bird's flying 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

'cause 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 be leaving,

Gotta get back to breathing

And I can't believe that I would ever want to be set free

But I just can't stay

So your love bird's flying away

Your love bird's flying 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

'cause 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 love birds flying away

Your love bird's flying 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

'cause there's nothing left to say

Gotta sing my song so pretty, dum dum diddy
