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 your weakness
He knows you care, knows you give
But he couldn't care less
He fits you to his mold
Chipping at you soul
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
Mocking bird, mocking bird
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
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
Mocking bird, mocking bird
You never know what life will bring
Trust your spirit, find your wings
Find your voice and let it sing
Let it sing
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
Mocking bird, mocking bird
