Love Birds

Lyrics:

new car on your drive
and it’s parked in place of mine
god, you didn’t waste your time!
you seem so uptight
and i recognize the signs
when you won’t look in my eyes

our love was built on trust
and a leap of faith was a leap too much
but who would think to doubt when you’re so in love

prettiest
prettiest love birds

prettiest

you lost sense lost sight
and it hurt to compromise
cause you wanted more to life
time revealed your lies
when your phone was by his side
and when your battery had died

time made a fool of trust
when it tumbled down it was made of rust
and now cause i’m out your life you are free to fly

prettiest
prettiest love birds

prettiest
prettiest love birds

prettiest
prettiest love birds

prettiest
prettiest love birds

it wasn’t by design
it was fate that brought me by
i’m glad that i got wise
and i kissed this show goodbye

kiss this show goodbye
kiss this show goodbye
kiss this show goodbye
shoot them down
shoot them down

prettiest love birds
prettiest love birds
shoot them down
shoot them down

prettiest love birds
prettiest love birds
shoot them down
shoot them down

prettiest love birds
prettiest love birds
shoot them down
shoot them down

shoot them down
shoot them down

prettiest love birds
prettiest love birds
shoot them down
shoot them down

shoot them down

Confession

The story as to how I came about to cover this song goes way back to 2018 when Allihoopa was around. The original composer and singer Tim Barnsley-Parfitt (aka Timmy Beep) and another artist Shai Lelchuk (aka Psymed) had collaborated on a remix and asked me to sing on it. To be honest, I originally sat on it because I had other projects to finish before I could do my version of Love Birds. 2 years later I finally got it finished.

Love Birds is a song about a guy and his ex with his ex’s new boyfriend who everyone thinks look so great together.

After a breakup, especially one that isn’t amicable, I think you really really need some time apart. And I know from personal experience that that is not always possible! So it’s a story of discovery and reflection on the relationship with the ex in that context.
