Mockingbird Lyrics by Derek Webb

Mockingbird

2005

There are days i don't believe the words i say
Like a life that i'm not living
A song that i'm not singing but to you

There are times that i believe i'm satisfied
Like an intimate connection
Despite this bad reception with you

Because i can't afford to pay
For most of what i say
So it's a lucky thing
That the truth's public domain

And i am like a mockingbird
I've got no new song to sing
And i am like an amplifier
I just tell you what i've heard
Oh, i'm like a mockingbird

And yes, it's true that i need this more than you
Like one whose name is many
Have mercy, please don't send me away

And i'll do all i can
To be a better man
Oh i'll clean up this act
And be worse than we started

And i am like a mockingbird
I've got no new song to sing
And i am like an amplifier
I just tell you what i've heard
Oh, i'm like a mockingbird
