Mockingbird Songtext
von Derek Webb

(vs. 1)
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

(pre-chorus)
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


(chorus)
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

(vs. 2)
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

(pre-chorus)
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

(chorus)
