He tells you wherefore
What to do, how it's done
And how to be for him
It's all about control, it's all about control
You're his life, you're his strength
But he's your weakness
He knows you care, knows you give
But he couldn't care less
He fits you to his mold, chipping at you soul
It tears me up to see the way that he treats you
To see the way that he brings you down and down
He's turning you inside out
It breaks me up to see the way that you take it
To see the way that he spins you 'round and 'round
Turning you upside down
Mocking bird
Mocking bird
Afraid to leave, afraid to lose
Afraid of living
You turn to him, you turn to me
But it lies in you
It's waiting to be found, it's waiting to be found
So feel your heart, feel your pain
Feel your anger
If you fight the fear, find the words
You'll find the answer
Like a cat held upside down
You'll land feet on the ground
It tears me up to see the way that he treats you
To see the way that he brings you down and down
He's turning you inside out
It breaks me up to see the way that you take it
To see the way that he spins you 'round and 'round
Turning you upside down
Mocking bird
Mocking bird
You never know what life may bring
Trust your spirit, find your wings
Find your voice and let it sing, let it sing
It tears me up to see the way that he treats you
To see the way that he brings you down and down
He's turning you inside out
And it breaks me up to see the way that you take it
To see the way that he spins you 'round and 'round
Turning you upside down
Mocking bird
Mocking bird
He tells you when, he tells you why He tells you wherefore What to do, how it's done And how to be for him It's all about control, it's all about control You're his life, you're his strength But he's your weakness He knows you care, knows you give But he couldn't care less He fits you to his mold, chipping at you soul It tears me up to see the way that he treats you To see the way that he brings you down and down He's turning you inside out It breaks me up to see the way that you take it To see the way that he spins you 'round and 'round Turning you upside down Mocking bird Mocking bird Afraid to leave, afraid to lose Afraid of living You turn to him, you turn to me But it lies in you It's waiting to be found, it's waiting to be found So feel your heart, feel your pain Feel your anger If you fight the fear, find the words You'll find the answer Like a cat held upside down You'll land feet on the ground It tears me up to see the way that he treats you To see the way that he brings you down and down He's turning you inside out It breaks me up to see the way that you take it To see the way that he spins you 'round and 'round Turning you upside down Mocking bird Mocking bird You never know what life may bring Trust your spirit, find your wings Find your voice and let it sing, let it sing It tears me up to see the way that he treats you To see the way that he brings you down and down He's turning you inside out And it breaks me up to see the way that you take it To see the way that he spins you 'round and 'round Turning you upside down Mocking bird Mocking bird Explain Request ×
