Lyrics
Mockingbird
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
