Derek Webb - Mockingbird lyrics

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

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
