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 want to take
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
I patchworked myself together
Strung a fence across the plains
Tried to tame it all for better
But some wilds you just can't claim
If beauty's in the eye
I'm gonna be mindful where I look
I wanna get a bird's eye from the sky
Of every chance I took
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
Naw it ain't fancy, it ain't especially fine
But it's mine, I know that it's mine
I'm 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
Oh you just might hear my melody
My secret melody
It's my melody
My secret melody
