Lovebird and When I Was Your Man

I would 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 love bird

But the time went on, the wind has blown, and I have grown
And I started a feeling
That wings had been broken

And I can't believe
That I would never want to be set free
But I just can't stay
So your lovebirds flyin' away

Your lovebird's flyin' away
Cus 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
Wanna stand on my own and
Put my heart in my own hands

Cause I begun to see
That you and me are different breeds
So I gotta believe in
Gotta get back to breathing

And I can't believe
That I would never want to be set free
But I just can't stay
So your love bird'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 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 wingspan.

Cause they say if you love something
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Open up the gate

Cause 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 miss you everyday
But there's nothing left to say
Gotta sing my song, so pretty
Dum, dum, diddy

Same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you all that it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
And it all just sound like uh, uh, uh

Hmmm too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers and held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing, but she's dancing with another man.

My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like uh, uh, uh, uh

Too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers and held your hand
Should have gave all my hours when I had the chance
Take you to every party cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby is dancing, but she's dancing with another man.

Although it hurts I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers, I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours when he has the chance
Take you to every party cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done when I was your man!
Do all the things I should have done when I was your man!
