Lyrics

[Verse 1] Who was I before I took it on the chin? Watching a little more of me blow away on the wind I listened to the whispers, bending out of shape To fit into a picture I didn't even wanna take [Chorus] Like a mockingbird Singing a thousands songs that don't belong to me Just to see who's listening The song of a mockingbird Hidden within my palm, the one that's just for me But if you listen closely and get a little bit lucky You just might hear my melody My secret melody [Verse 2] I patchworked myself together, strung a fence across the plains Triеd to tame it all for better, but somе wilds you just can't claim If beauty's in the eye, I'm gonna be mindful where I look I'm gonna get a bird's eye from the sky of every chance I took [Chorus] Like a mockingbird Singing a thousands songs that don't belong to me Just to see who's listening The song of a mockingbird Hidden within my palm, the one that's just for me But if you listen closely and get a little bit lucky Well, you just might hear my melody My secret melody [Bridge] It ain't fancy, it ain't especially fine Oh, but it's mine, I know that it's mine [Chorus] I'm a mockingbird Singing a thousands songs that don't belong to me Just to see who's listening To the song of a mockingbird Hidden within my palm, the one that's just for me If you listen closely and get a little bit lucky Well, you just might hear my melody My secret melody [Outro] Oh, my melody My secret melody Ooh
