Mocking Bird Lyrics

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
