Love Birds Lyrics

Uh huh, I held you tight,

But the sky was calling you tonight.

Uh huh, I saw the change,

Love's never meant to stay the same.

I found you in the quiet rain,

Wings clipped, hiding from the pain.

You sang a song that cracked the night,

And I stayed to keep the fire alight.

Uh huh, I held you tight,

But the sky was calling you tonight.

Uh huh, I saw the change,

Love's never meant to stay the same.

Love's like holding a bird in your hand,

Fragile and fleeting, it won't understand.

Uh huh, yeah yeah, you gave me your song,

But I always knew you'd be moving on.

(Yeah yeah yeah) You're stronger now, no need to hide,

I'll watch you soar, though it aches inside.

I taught you hope while I learned to ache,

Lifted you up so you wouldn't break.

A bird rebuilt, it won't stay confined,

Sometimes to love means leaving behind.

Uh huh, I held you tight,

But the sky was calling you tonight.

Uh huh, I saw the change,

Love's never meant to stay the same.

Love's like holding a bird in your hand,

Fragile and fleeting, it won't understand.

Uh huh, yeah yeah, you gave me your song,

But I always knew you'd be moving on.

(Yeah yeah yeah) You're stronger now, no need to hide,

I'll watch you soar, though it aches inside.

Go now, your wings are wide,

The world is waiting on the other side.

Uh huh, yeah yeah, it's bittersweet,

Every goodbye comes with a heartbeat.

(Oh, oh) I'll stay behind, but you'll never fade,

You're the light in the spark we made.

Love's like holding a bird in your hand,

Fragile and fleeting, it won't understand.

Uh huh, yeah yeah, you gave me your song,

But I always knew you'd be moving on.

(Yeah yeah yeah) You're stronger now, no need to hide,

I'll watch you soar, though it aches inside.

Uh huh, yeah yeah, love's a fleeting thing,

But your voice still echoes, a quiet string.

Go now, my firefly, take the sky,

I'll stay and wonder, but never ask why.
