歌詞: Derek Webb. Mockingbird.

(vs. 1)
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

(pre-chorus)
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

(chorus)
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

(vs. 2)
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

(pre-chorus)
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

(chorus)
