Lovebird

About Lovebird

"Lovebird" is a song recorded by British singer-songwriter Leona Lewis for her third studio album Glassheart (2012). It was written by Bonnie McKee, Joshua "Ammo" Coleman and Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, and produced by Josh Abrahams, Ammo and Oligee. "Lovebird" was recorded at Pulse Recording in Los Angeles and is a power ballad, incorporating a piano and synth-driven melody. The lyrics consist of Lewis informing her past lover that enough time has passed since their relationship for her to have moved on and to have developed as a person. Critics praised Lewis' vocal performance, likening her technical abilities to those of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. The musical structure of the song was heavily compared to one of her previous singles, "Bleeding Love", along with songs performed by Adele. The accompanying music video shows Lewis trying to escape from a giant bird cage. To promote "Lovebird", Lewis performed the song on talk shows Daybreak and Loose Women in the United Kingdom, in addition to singing competition La Voz in Spain. Nonetheless, "Lovebird" sold fewer than 600 copies upon its release, failing to attain one of the top 200 chart positions on the UK Singles Chart; however, two weeks after the release of Glassheart, "Lovebird" peaked at number 22 on the South Korea Gaon Single Chart due to strong digital download sales. more »

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
