Lovebird
Farewell Melody: Lovebird's Poignant Departure
Lyrics
Hey lovebird
Addressing the partner as "lovebird," expressing a connection.
I will sing you goodbye songs
Commitment to singing farewell songs until the partner departs.
‘til you fly away
Acknowledging the impending departure of the lovebird.
And hey lovebird
Repeating the term "lovebird," reinforcing the emotional bond.
I won’t tell you that it’s wrong
Not condemning the departure, avoiding judgment.
We were never here to stay
Expressing that the relationship was not meant to be permanent.
And you’re the only one I knew in all my years
Acknowledging a deep connection with the departing lovebird.
All your deepest wishes and your biggest fears
Highlighting understanding of the partner's desires and fears.
But i’ll never understand just how it feels to be
Expressing a limitation in comprehending the emotions of departure.
The one who’s leaving
Describing the emotional experience of being the one leaving.
Feels to be the one who’s leaving
Reiterating the emotional weight of departing.
Feels to be the one who’s leaving
Emphasizing the emotional impact of being the one who leaves.
One who’s leaving me
Referring to the departing partner as the one leaving.
Hey lover
Addressing the partner as "lover," a different term of endearment.
I have been here all along
Claiming a longstanding presence in the partner's life.
And my life before you came has been
Describing a past life as a lonely journey before the partner's arrival.
A lonely desert road
Metaphorically depicting life before love as a desolate road.
And hey lover
Repeating the term "lover," indicating a reciprocal bond.
When you leave i will go on
Expressing resilience and commitment to continue after the partner leaves.
I’ll be changing with the seasons
Anticipating personal growth and change post-departure.
I’ll be moving to the songs
Planning to adapt to life's changes through music.
And you’re the only one who knows me through my bones
Highlighting a deep understanding of the partner's essence.
With all the belly aches and washed out river stones
Referencing shared experiences, including hardships and memories.
And how we always said we’ll go down where it flows
Recalling a shared commitment to venture into the unknown.
But you’re the one who’s leaving
Reiterating the emotional weight of the departing partner.
Seems like you’re the one who’s leaving
Suggesting a perception that the partner is the one leaving.
Seems like you’re the one who’s leaving
Repeating the perception of the partner departing.
Leaving me alone
Emphasizing the solitude experienced due to the partner's departure.
And you’re the only one who knows me through my bones
Reiterating a deep understanding of the partner's essence.

Referencing shared experiences, including hardships and memories (repeated).
And how we always said we’ll go down where it flows

Going, going, gone
Using repetition to convey the finality of the departure.
