He tells you when
He tells you why
He tells you wherefore-
what to do and 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 strenght,
but he's your weakness,
he knows you care,
knows you give,
but he couldn't care less-
He fits you to his mould
Chipping at you soul

Chorus
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 your fear,
find the words-
you'll find the answer
like a cat held upside down,
you'll land feet on the ground

chorus

You never know
what life will bring-
trust your spirit
find your wings,
find your voice
and let it sing
Let it sing

chorus
