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.
Still Not Over You
BlackByrd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You seeing someone new
My heart can't find a reason to say goodbye to you
Even though your smile has changed
Our conversations few
In my mind I'm going crazy 'cos I'm not over you
How long baby I'm missing you
What if I told you, you were still on my mind
That my heart can't find a worthy reason to leave your love behind
If I said I loved you would you hear it from my heart?
'Cos I'm going crazy
Somebody help me through
'Cos I'm just not over you
I pretended not to care when deep inside I knew
I was dying just to hold you baby I'm just not over you
Even though you see me smile like I'm stronger without you
I'm still broken and I need you baby 'cos I'm not over you
How long until I see your face and feel your embrace
How long baby I'm missing you woah
What if I told you, you were still on my mind
That my heart can't find a worthy reason to leave your love behind
If I said I loved you would you hear it from my heart?
'Cos I'm going crazy
Somebody help me through
'Cos I'm just not over you
I can't say goodbye
I don't wanna try
I can't stop loving you
So what if we took the time
A time to work things through
'Cos I'm not over you
Yeah yeah yeah
What if I told you, you were still on my mind
That my heart can't find a worthy reason to leave your love behind
If I said I loved you would you hear it from my heart?
'Cos I'm going crazy
Somebody help me through
'Cos I'm just not over you
'Cos I'm going crazy
Somebody help me through
I'm just not over you
