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 strength but he's you're 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
Mockingbird,
Mockingbird

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

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
