Taking their name from the classic Beatles track, BlackByrd are in the process of turning adult-contemporary pop convention on its head, thanks to Lamb's new-found talent as a critical songwriter. "We've all grown, as people and entertainers," Lamb says. "We're artists now, and loving every minute."
Since January 2012, BlackByrd, along with promoter and music-industry veteran Mike Fuller as manager, have been creating a body of work that will be released as 13-track debut album this September.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cos when the truth came out you were the first to start the fight (I should've never, I, I should've never)
You said I was your one and only baby (You said, you said)
You said you'd never leave me alone baby (You said, you said)
You said, you said, you said
You said it but you lied
I should've never, I, I should've never
I should've never, I, I should've never
'Cos now I'm losing control
Yeah you're losing control
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No no no na na
I should've never thought we were some kind of fairytale (I should've never, I, I should've never)
'Cos when the pressure started you were the first one to bale (I should've never, I, I should've never)
Now you said I was your one and only baby (You said it, you said it)
You said you'd never leave me lonely baby (You said it, you said it)
You said it, you said it, you said it (You said it, you said it)
You said it and you lied
I should've never, I, I should've never
I should've never let go baby
I should've never, I, I should've never
'Cos now I'm losing control
Yeah now you're losing control
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Was I holding just tryna see you letting go? (Baby you lied)
I guess that I was weak and now it's time to close the door (Baby you lied)
This is about me and not about you
'Cos baby I can't take no more
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no

The song "I Should've Never" by BlackByrd is about regretting a failed relationship. The singer admits that they should have never pretended that their relationship was alright and let go, because now they have lost control. The lyrics suggest that the singer was blindsided when their partner revealed the truth about their feelings, causing a fight. Despite the partner's assurances that they would never leave them alone, they ended up lying and leaving.
The chorus of the song repeats "No, no, no, no, no" emphasizing the singer's regret, while the bridge suggests that the singer was trying to hold on while their partner was letting go. The song ends with the singer saying that they can't take it anymore and they should have never let go. The song is a heartbreaking reminder of the pain of a relationship that falls apart.

Because of everything that's happened, I feel like I'm spiraling out of control emotionally.
Yeah you're losing control
You're out of control too, you've contributed to this situation.
I should've never thought we were some kind of fairytale (I should've never, I, I should've never)
I shouldn't have had such unrealistic and idealistic expectations of what our relationship was like, because when things got tough, you couldn't handle it.

This is about me and not about you
I'm taking back control of my own life and emotions, and not letting your actions affect me anymore.
'Cos baby I can't take no more
I've reached my breaking point and can no longer handle the deception and pain you've caused me.

@nomvulangubane1755
You every morning
You every night
You're in my soul, in my heart, in my life
I was a dreamer
You had the plan
Now you're walking away and I don't understand
But how come
It feels okay to know I'll never see you again
How come you never ever tried
I'm doing it all for me
I'm taking the chance to find the real me
I'm letting you go one for three
I gotta do this alone though I'm scared to the bone
I'm not running away
I'm facing my fears
This time a gotta learn to dry my own tears
I'm doing it all for me
Without you, baby
All for me
I'm hoping that I find the strength to move on
And right by your side I thought I would belong
I guess I'm not perfect but I will be strong
'Cos this is the moment
And I want it all
So how come
It feels okay to know I'll never see you again
And how come you never ever cried
I'm doing it all for me
I'm taking the chance to find the real me
I'm letting you go one for three
I gotta do this alone though I'm scared to the bone
I'm not running away
I'm facing my fears
This time I gotta learn to dry my own tears
I'm doing it all for me
Without you, baby
Without you I'm learning that I'm incomplete
Without you there's so much more I wanna be
Without you there's no us
Without you there's just me
Without you it's all up to me yeah
I'm doing it all for me
I'm taking the chance to find the real me
I'm letting you go one for three
I gotta do this alone though I'm scared to the bone
I'm not running away
I'm facing my fears
This time I gotta learn to dry my own tears
I'm doing it all for me
Without you, baby
All for me
Without you, baby
All for me
Without you, baby
All for me
